[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]WTF? The Charlottesville police have not yet even begun to investigate formally?  Who is going to step in first, the state police or Anonymous? Whether you have doubts about the RS article or not, the reputation of the state university is taking a huge hit and there needs to be light on this....

"Police had previously confirmed that UVA President Teresa Sullivan had contacted the department to request a criminal investigation and said they were reviewing a published account of the alleged incident. But police have not yet accumulated enough information to take the matter beyond an inquiry and open a formal investigation."

Because Jackie will not work with police they cannot advance this past an inquiry.[/quote]

The police do not need Jackie to start an investigation... just like they don't need a dead person to testify about their murder or they don't need a wife to bring charges against her husband.[/quote]

If this sort of behavior is considered "standard" at a university, and it is kept hidden from the people at the top or considered "hijinks", why would anyone start an investigation? 
There have been "trains" (ie gang rapes) at colleges and universities in Virginia since the 80s, and probably before and at many other places as well. Why have you not heard about them? Because everyone keeps silent; the universities don't want bad publicity, the frat guys want what they want, and the girls are too humiliated or are discouraged at every turn, or they don't want to lose their frat guy boyfriend. Who knows, probably happens to some guys too. Are they going to say anything either? Push for police reports?

My mom asked me recently if this happened while I was in college--I said sure it did, and gave examples. "Why didn't you tell me then," she asks. My answer: "You would have never let me go back to college and kept me locked in the house until I was 21." She laughed nervously and said yes, they would have. I wasn't going to mention this to anyone if the victims did not...[/quote]
