So. Was this rape? A sexual assault? Should we blame the victim here?
What I find interesting is the collegiate response to this. Isn’t this pretty typical of all colleges and universities? Drunk co-ed cries rape. They have to tap-dance around the issue.
"It did not sound like a question. I obeyed."
Alternate possibility: BDSM pornographic fiction?
I’m confused too. Is she saying that Harvard did not do any sort of investigation into this? It sounds to me as if they did not even investigate. Maybe I’m reading that into this.
Or is she frustrated that Harvard did not find evidence of a crime having been committed?
One thing I saw in the article is that if she is taking Sertraline or any other anti-depressant, she should not consume any alcohol at all. (Note; this was after the incident so it is not intended as any indictment of her behavior before).
We have her version here. I would like to know whether there was an official police investigation, and whether the institution made their own investigation as well. While I do not blame the author for what she says happened, I can’t take all of it at face value either.
Feel for this girl, but if she really feels she was sexually assaulted, why is she worrying about what HARVARD will do... She should have gone to the police and filed a complaint.
Upon reading the article, I feel for this girl, but by her own admission she complied out of intimidation, not physical force, or even the threat of physical force, which is why her case falls into this gray area.
Of course if this girl was a friend of mine, the “proper channel” method would have been tossed out the window, and me and a few friends would have taught this guy a lesson. I suspect highly he would have moved out on his own when we were done with him.
