Doesn’t look like she had her day in court, just before a university panel.
In this article, her side of the story, the interaction with police was not successful.
Couple of things for me. One, we have a generation of girls that give it away too easy, no standards, no expectations. Young men have no respect for them because of the way they dress, the way they drink, the way they act. Very sad.
Two, report it immediately if it happened. Unfortunately rape so humiliates the victim, I can see not reporting it.
A couple of decades ago, I was a college freshman who was sexually assaulted (not raped, Praise the Lord because someone walked by). I was dressed very modestly...jeans & a rugby shirt, even had long underwear on underneath. This was a very good looking, smooth guy and it was a first date. I was very naïve about things, obviously since I wore cuddle duds on a date, but this was northern Minnesota. Nothing was seductive about me that night.
Everyone says that if a woman doesn’t scream or fight then it really isn’t an assult. I remember clearly being panicked and kept thinking that I needed to yell, or scream or something but was frozen silent.
I didn’t say one word to anyone, just started the transfer process. It was so embarrassing. We would have ended up on the same track so I am glad that I just got out of there.
If what she says happened is true, I can see why it took her a long time to report it and the humiliation and betrayal by a friend could push her over the edge.
