Schools Dismissing Rape With Excuses Like 'He Didn't 0rgasm' | Liberals Unite
John Butts@JBMedia - Reports:
The University of Southern California is finding itself in some legal hot water for alleged failures to pursue and prosecute charges of rape.
According to this report from the Huffington Post, 13 students and several unnamed students have filed charges alleging the the campus does not reports of sexual violence.
The lead complainant, Tucker Reed, alleges that the university refused to pursue charges that Reed’s ex-boyfriend had raped her. An official at the school reportedly told Reed that their goal was to be “educative,” not to “punish” (in reference to her alleged rapist).
Another student claimed that the school determined that there was no rape because the assailant didn’t orgasm.

“Because he stopped, it was not rape,” she was told, according to the complaint. “Even though his penis penetrated your vagina, because he stopped, it was not a crime.”

Another student claimed that she was raped at a fraternity event and that USC blamed her, saying that women should not “go out, get drunk and expect not to get raped.”
Of the students who were found guilty of sexual assault, the complaint states that they were given slaps on the wrist, sometimes including just a letter telling them to stay away from the alleged victim. They were still allowed to graduate.
The U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights has dismissed parts of the complaint, citing too little information or in some cases, the lapse of a shocking 180 day time limit. The statute of limitations on rape cases in California is six years.
It’s estimated that one in five college-aged women will be raped. 65% of college rapes go unreported. According to the Center for Public Integrity, even when an assailant is found guilty in the university system, only 10 to 25 percent are expelled – which means that victims are often forced to drop out to avoid coming face to face with their rapist.
The Obama administration has addressed the issue, asking schools to take women more seriously and to lower their standard of proof needed for investigating.http://samuel-warde.com/2013/07/sickening-schools-dismissing-rape-with-excuses-like-he-didnt-0rgasm/
