[quote=Anonymous]This is not my child but the child of a friend.  Majority of this happened last spring when she was a junior.  Was sexually assaulted on campus at least three boys.  It was filmed.  Everyone involved was intoxicated.  Girl decides not to press charges but video makes the rounds.  Students push to suspend students seen assaulting girl but school doesn’t act on it.  Boys face no repercussions.

Come this fall one of the boys is accused of raping two freshmen girl.  Girls press charges.  Case not going far and friends daughter (now 22) decides to press charges against all three boys.  She submits video as proof and they are charged and university suspends them from athletics but not campus.  Case ongoing.

Girl has received countless death threats and some unfair treatment from one professor.  She had one term left but it’s so bad she’s debating leaving.

My friend seems heartbroken but hasn’t done much as far as helping her with legal process or pushing for her safety on campus.

I hope I’m never in this position but I feel like I’d reign hell upon the university and those boys from day 1.  Even if my kid was an adult (my kids are still teens).  Her hands off approach is bizarre to me.

Those with adult kids, how much would you intervene?  This just feels like a lot for anyone to handle, especially a college student. [/quote]
