Betsy DeVos tried to strike the balance on this saying we need to take the victims of sexual misconduct seriously and we need to respect the rights of those accused of sexual misconduct as in their innocence until proven otherwise.
The jackbooted witch hunters of the world may not approve, but I can handle this because its the right thing to do as opposed to the previous politically motivated Soviet-Nazi style policy.
universities should not be involved in criminal investigations...that’s what police and the court system are for.
Hussein obama left us with so much idiotic bs. It will take generations to clear the stench left by dung-head obama.
Exactly.
If a female doesn't want to be assaulted or raped, don't go to a man's bedroom.
If a man doesn't want to be charged falsely with assault or rape, don't take a woman to your bedroom.
IMHO the problem with rape cases is the imbalance in the penalty phase.
Yes, it is, IMHO, one of the worse crimes that can be committed and our responses to CONVICTED rapists are totally justified.
But, what about acquitted men? The system has no penalty for false charges that are proven to be false (no she said - he said) hence there is no restraint. If the plaintive had some “skin in the game” it could reduce the number of false charges.
My bottom line is where does a man go to regain his reputation and future when he is found innocent?
Women need to be taught that they can’t claim rape anytime they regret a decision about who they had sex with.
The same thing with the church.
Because they believe in ‘innocent until proven guilty’.
All of these cases need to go to the police. The rights of both victims and the falsely accused are being trampled by the colleges because colleges are first and foremost going to be concerned with their own reputations and are secondly going to be concerned about their pet political agendas.
The only way to ensure the due process of law is to turn it over to the police and let the chips fall where they may.
“they could hear her loudly consenting to sex”
Hmmmmm......
At the start of my military career I was an MP. Was first on the scene to a few rape cases. My observations are the same as yours, about 40%-50% of rape cases appear to be false accusations.
Now all our rape cases were investigated by CID and always had a female assigned to them. I was talking to the CID agent on one of the cases I was first on. She had been in the Corps for 12 years. She told me that from her experience about 50% of rape accusations were false.
With all the repair work that President Trump needs to do, the government is coming across like a very decayed building in an episode of “This Old House”.
YUP!
KYPIP!
I agree 100%. I wouldn't trust ANY college or university to be objective in cases that affect their bottom line or image. Besides that, if a woman is genuinely a victim of sexual assault, the last thing most would want is for it to become a part of college community gossip. Besides that, it will never be forgotten. Every reunion it'll be a part of the nostalgia.
If a girl I was close to asked me for advice, I'd tell her to go directly to the police and not tell anyone who's part of the college community, even her best friend, about it.
You nailed it!
Unfortunately, this sets it up for “cry wolf.”
Yeah. The figures in this article appear to be very much on the low side.
Most of the reasonably executed studies I’ve seen show numbers between 25% and 65% (mostly based on definition differences, and location), with a reasonable center a bit over 40%.
