[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is everyone acting like the victim was some old lady adult and the predator was a little boy? He was a MAN at age 19 and she was 23. BOTH young adults.  [/quote]

He wasn't a year out of HS when this happened.  She had 4 years of college under her belt, a full time job and a steady boyfriend and had been to these parties many, many times. And had the tolerance to prove it.

I do not think that unaffiliated college grads should be going to these college specific parties.  A college bar is one thing - there are a variety of ages there.  But going to a college specific party where you joke that you will be the oldest one there and then proceeding to get drunk out of your mind around young kids who do not know you - that is wrong.  And it puts you into creepy territory.  Sorry - not a cougar.  Creepy.

If a male college grad had gotten severely plastered and led a somewhat drunken freshman girl behind that dumpster and things happened that he was not completely aware of  and he passed out half naked in the act and would not wake up - no one would feel sorry for him.  In fact, people would be disgusted by the grossness of his behavior.[/quote]

Of the two involved: Brock had actually been banned from a party previously due to his predatory behavior. Emily-never banned.
Brock-convicted of attempted rape by a jury of his peers--mostly men. 
Emily-totally innocent of any wrong doing.
You can slice it /dice it any way you want, but there is only one person at fault.

Which isn't to say that I haven't counseled my own college age daughter to always be cautious at campus parties, don't drink excessively, be wary of drunk men. There are some precautions you can take, but not everyone is going to follow that advice all the time. So maybe Ms. Doe made a mistake by drinking so much, but she did not commit a crime, Brock  did. He is the convicted felon, sex offender for life, which is as it should be. She is the innocent victim, whether you like it or not[/quote]
