Then why did he run? And he certainly noticed she wasn't conscious since the swedes riding by on their bike noticed. Also why not go to a dorm room? I think she passed out while they were walking so he carried her behind the dumpster and raped her.

He and Emily Doe were kissing at the party and they left together. They likely went behind the dumpster not realizing that they were still in plain view. They fooled around, she passed out and he kept sexually engaging with her (disgusting).

When the swedes saw him dry humping a passed out woman, they yelled at him "What are you doing to her!?! Stop!!". He got off her and started to run. They chased and tackled him.

If the swedes hadn't shown up on the scene he would have likely finished what he was doing and left her behind that dumpster. She would have woke up a couple of hours later, half naked, feeling like crap and wondering wth had happened and realizing - oh crap, anyone driving by could see me laying here by this dumpster!

Neither one of these two young adults treated each other (or themselves!) with any respect or decency. She was a grown woman with a serious boyfriend who got black out drunk and opted to kiss and leave a party with an underage 19 year old college guy. She wound up passed out cold behind a dumpster. He got drunk beyond reason and wound up sexually assaulting this passed out woman.

They both made extremely poor and unfortunate choices that night. I'll bet that neither one of them would have behaved that way sober. It is a shame all around.

He didn't rape anyone. Two drunk people making out behind a dumpster--that's all there's to it. She passed out and his life is ruined. And she is not traumatized by spending time with him but rather by everything that happened afterwards: police, hospital, rape kit, questioning, exposing that she cheated on her boyfriend with a teenager several years her junior etc. So the swedes created good intentions and road to hell type of situation. Ruining his life over this nonsense is totally ridiculous.

You are a rape apologist and your perspective is a part of the problem. Stop. It. Now. But more than anything I hope you aren't sharing your pro rape views with young people. She was so obviously unconscious that two people on bikes noticed how wrong this was just passing by. They ran after him, tackled him and seeing the attack upset them. Either you are a woman who is very afraid, a woman who is a survivor, and I'm sorry if that's true, or more likely a man- who has no idea what he's talking about.

No you stop with the whole "rapist" hysteria. They were grabbing each other at the party, they went together outside, she blacked out, he didn't. Really, that's it. Btw, her letter sounds totally fake. Things like "I thought he was going to settle" or "maybe one day you can pay me back for my ambulance ride and the therapy" make her look like a slut who wants money.

I'll say upfront, I have not read in detail about this case. But some people here are pretty certain there was consent right up until the time she passed out. I'm interested in seeing where they got this information.

This, plus a million. Every damn time a story like this hits the press, I can predict that the conversation is almost immediately going to turn to the woman and what she did wrong. Every damn time. Just once, I'd like to have a conversation about rape in which no one feels like the most important thing they can contribute is scolding the victim for her supposed mistakes.

The Vanderbilt case, which had very different facts and was a very different crime -- you will see no discussion of the woman's actions or inactions. So not every time, just most of the time.

I am white and very rarely bring up race but if Brock were an African American the jail term and discussion would be very different. I am 100% certain of that.
