There in that hotel, a little over four years ago, I was raped by a group of men during a three-day trip I took to Las Vegas with two of my best friends. Of the rape, which lasted all night, I remember both too much and too little. I never did anything about it. I didn’t tell anyone who could have done something about it, either, such as the hotel staff or the Las Vegas police. I never considered taking any kind of action at the time, but ever since the possibility has haunted me as a particularly cruel version of a path not taken. And although in my mind, the hotel phone remains permanently available to my call, that isn’t true either—and in more ways than one.
With the passage of time comes the passing of statutory deadlines. There’s no room in the law for my personal combination of indecision, confusion, and avoidance. Put differently, the legal frameworks we have for processing crimes often conflict with our emotional and affective responses to those crimes. But the passing of the statutes of limitations for pressing criminal charges against those men has forced me to confront the reasons why I never pursued legal action against them in the first place, although it hasn’t yet allowed me to accept that I never will. To me, there will always be a phone in a Las Vegas hotel waiting for my call.
The simple answer to the question of why I never reported the rape is that I believe in the abolition of police and prisons. The less simple, less articulate answer is that to pursue prosecuting and potentially incarcerating other people is inconceivable to me, even when they have hurt me more than I could have ever believed possible.

Yep, pure BS. She was never gang raped for hours without reporting it. Any woman would not hesitate to report it. She’s a lying feminazi.
OK then she needs to just shut up about it. Apparently it wasn’t that traumatizing. My cup of give a chit is empty.
Because you enjoyed it.
So when’s the line form to her apartment? She should think about the unintended consequences of her public statements.
There’s a lot of horrible monsters out there.
Show the depth of selfishness. She doesn’t care if other women would be raped by the same perp(s).
If she is to believe in the accomplishment of police and prisons, then I fully expect her unwavering support to supply me with ammo and support.
I too believe in the abolishment of prisons. I believe it was John Moses Browning that have us all the ability to make our world safer.
And I really wish she wasn’t pushed away from Mr. Browning invention. Otherwise the rapists would be dead.
Finally, Ms author, your inaction surely lead to other women getting raped. And that’s on your hands.
You did that.
I’m guessing if she had a daughter and her daughter was gang raped she would have a different reaction to the monsters among us.
She talks about how she was chatting with this group of men in the casino.
And she mentions replaying in her mind all of the events that happen. She mentions walking to the elevator with a group of men. Presumably, they took the elevator up to the room that the men had rented in the hotel.
But what the hell was she doing walking to the hotel elevator, apparently voluntarily, with a group of men she didn’t know? What the hell was she thinking as she went to the hotel room of a group of men she didn’t know?
Some people need better “street smarts” or caution, about certain situations.
Maybe she enjoyed it. There are some seriously f##ked-up women out there.
Hilarious!
“Sounds like a nut. I bet the whole thing is fiction.”
Anything for five seconds of fame…..
>> A Columbia PhD candidate sparked widespread backlash after revealing she chose not to report her rape because of her stark prison abolitionist views.
“Maybe it wasn’t, y’know, RAPE-rape.”
😂
Suicidal empathy. LOL!
It happened...over and over...in her head.
