"I'm sorry, but let's defend the little frat boys instead of waiting for a trial. Let's paper over the fact that this women might actually have a case. Of course, let's gloss over the fact that date rape and sexual assault occurs on college campuses every day. Heck, it's probably the women's fault that this happened as it always is."

I'm sorry, but let's wait for outcome of the trial. Let's paper over the fact that this woman is a liar and doesn't have a case. Of course, let's gloss over the fact that the vast majority of rapes and sexual assaults do not occur on campuses. Heck, it's probably the man's fault because he has a penis.

College women are much more likely to get raped than their non college bound peers because there's too much alcohol and they don't know how to protect themselves from an attack. When I went down for freshman orientation, the admin./ student speakers reiterated over and over that women shouldn't let others buy drinks for them, etc., because everyone's concerned about date rapes/ sexual assaults while intoxicated. Plus, most campus rapes are of the date rape variety, much less likely to go unreported than violent assaults by strangers.

Moreover, there's still a tendency to blame the victims for a rape/ sexual assault especially if it was a date rape or she was at a party and passed out. There was a case in suburban Lake County, IL (where I live) last year where the perpetrators gave the 16-year-old victim alcohol (I think it was likely laced with the date rape drug) and after she passed out taped themselves gang-raping her. Unfortunately, a hotshot attorney got the little sleazes off by blaming the victim.
