[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, what do we know?  We know that other rapes at UVA have occurred, one that took 20 years to prosecute where the victim only learned it was a gang rape 20 years after the fact.  A couple of rapes where the perpetrators admitted guilt and were suspended but not expelled and nothing was reported to the police.

I have read many articles on this, and the commonality that strikes me is that no UVA alums are surprised at the rape allegations and many echo how rape/sexual assault are routinely brushed under the rug.

All of these are not allegations of both parties having too much to drink and one regretting it in the morning.  These are repeated allegations of violent rape occurring and being ignored.

The total lack of surprise and resigned acceptance of this very serious problem by everyone that has a connection to UVA is the story here.  I agree with the RS author.

This is not the Duke story.  This is very different.[/quote]

I agree it's good to talk about the issues with rape in frats and at UVA. The question is whether or not this particular story in the RS was fabricated in any way, shape or form. If so, saying it's about the larger issue, not the story itself, is bad news. There's a lot of 'the end justifies the means' going around lately. I wholeheartedly reject that concept.[/quote]
