The University of Southern California is facing a federal civil rights investigation after students filed a complaint that alleged the school ignored campus rape and failed to prosecute attackers even after they confessed.
One anonymous USC student involved in the complaint said that campus police had decided she wasn't raped because her alleged attacker did not orgasm, the Huffington Post reported Monday.
"Because he stopped, it was not rape," she was told, per the complaint. "Even though his penis penetrated your vagina, because he stopped, it was not a crime."
The campus police did not refer the student's case to the Los Angeles police department.
Another student, according to the complaint, was told by the university Department of Public Safety that women should not "go out, get drunk and expect not to get raped" when she tried to report a rape.
The U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights is investigating potential violations of Title IX, the federal gender equality law that criminilizes a failure to respond to claims of sexual violence.
I don’t know about Cali, but in Ohio any oral, vaginal, or anal penetration is rape. The penetrators include objects, digits, genitals, and tongues. Since rape is about control and not sex, orgasm has nothing to do with this. If this girl is telling the truth, I hope she owns these idiots.
Is that you Bill Clinton?
The high school in which I teach recently dealt with a rape trial that became an international sensation. As part of our new training we were inserviced about Ohio rape laws and the rape investigation process. What you are suggesting happens so rarely, and when it does the investigators (real investigators) know and eliminate the issue almost immediately. There are actually more rapes that go unreported than girls claiming rape when it didn’t really happen. Also, and again this is Ohio, a person can give consent but the person to whom consent was given can still be charged and found guilty of rape. If the person giving consent is in a state where he or she cannot possibly make the proper decision for him or herself (i.e. under the influence of drugs or alcohol), then that is also rape.
I think we agree. I tell my kids - you can't always control what others do, but you can control the choices you make, and the situations in which you put yourselves.
Uhn huh...
Sounds like an attitude that would have been pervasive decades ago but, today that is still assault and battery with aggravated, etc...
Oh, and rape is rape.
If a guy puts it in once and then grows a conscience well, you just effed up and your life outta be messed up and good.
Now, stand there with your eyes closed. You don’t want to see what my #36 Louisville Slugger is going to do....
I am still not used to “orgasm” being used as a verb.
OOOOOooohhh!
NO Wonder!
LORD help us!
In those days, ejaculation or not didn't get you off the hook for a rape charge. For that matter, neither did penetration or not. We knew that any kind of intimate unwanted sexual contact between your private parts could put you on or even over that line and behaved accordingly, for the most part.
We also knew that slapping or pinching a girl on the butt, while rude, didn't even come close. Now the law and definitions are so screwed up that society can talk about "penetration which doesn't result in ejaculation" NOT being rape, on one hand, and about brushing against a woman's breasts even accidentally POSSIBLY being rape on the other. Go figure.
I can't make sense of it other than the normal libtard tactic of dividing society and creating chaos from which the libtards can harness to gain political power.
ART. 120. RAPE AND CARNAL KNOWLEDGE . . . (a) Any person subject to this chapter who commits an act of sexual intercourse with a female not his wife, by force and without consent, is guilty of rape . . . Penetration, however slight, is sufficient to complete either of these offenses.
The military has it right (although you can't rape your wife???). I hope this is a moron who misinterpreted California law and not a mistake in CA law. That was rape, what Whoopi Goldberg calls "rape-rape", even if he stopped, and the rapist should be prosecuted for his crime.
Campus didn’t want the stigma of a rape occurring on campus jurisdiction so they tried to cover their own ass. Well, they got that stigma now.
technically anyways
I wonder how often they enforce underage drinking laws?
When I was in school, MIP’s were as common as speeding tickets.
My first thought as well.
This is not surprising at all.
As a professor, I can say that the idea that the Catholic Church is some sort of leader in sexual malpractice is ridiculous.
American universities have institutionalized a rape culture.
This story is symptomatic of a widespread and generally understood problem on every campus in America.
College students widely believe that if a woman gets drunk then she should expect forced sex from a male.
It is all part of our Blue elite culture that is evident in super ridiculous events like Anthony Weiner.
It's cute the way you repeat liberal talking points.
Akins said that women get pregnant less often when they are raped then with consensual sex. Less often does not mean "do not" it just means that it is less likely. Words do mean things.
BTW he is right, statistically women are less likely to get pregnant from a rape.
Sounds about right.
“Well you know, people always want to try to make that as one of those things, well how do you, how do you slice this particularly tough sort of ethical question. First of all, from what I understand from doctors, that’s really rare. If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.”
He was an idiot both for thinking it and for saying it.
Definition of rape: “....any penetration, however slight, is sufficient to complete the act” as quoted by the Commander of the Pueblo in 1968, in his signed “confession”.
