[quote=Anonymous]I'm the OP and as others have pointed out, I only have the story my friend told me.

As someone who was raped and had to deal with the aftermath, her reaction really stuck me as that of someone who has previously been assaulted.  I know I experienced panic attacks after my rape when I tried to have sex with my partner whom I'd been with for years.  I think my reaction would have been similar.  Even now DH knows I do not want to be woken up this way but he's fine to be woken up this way.

I didn't mention any of this to my friend because she does not know my history and also because my mind was just spinning during her story.  Some co-workers and I were discussing it at lunch and one woman with 3 teen son's said she's taught them to just automatically ask each time they want to do anything with the opposite sex, even kissing, and never assume because you kissed her yesterday that she's fine doing it today.

It was really fascinating to me to hear how the university handles cases like this.  From my understanding, the girl was very upset and told her roommate, who encouraged her to speak with their RA, who then encouraged her to report it to the university.  The univ. then investigated to see if the accusation could be substantiated and notified the local PD who also began investigating.  He was allowed to remain in classes during this time but told to stay away from her (and then ordered to stay away later on).

I don't know if any alcohol was involved.  I do know that from the time they met until when this happened was around 2 months.
