...One kid had raped two women. They never called the police; they suspended him for a year and let him back on campus.
I've got a bill that's currently being drafted. And what that's going to say is that if a university or higher education state employee is informed that a sexual assault has taken place, they're going to have 24 hours to report it to the local police, and if they don't they're going to face up to a year in jail and a $2,500 fine. Let me tell you, this has got to stop. The other thing is, those people at UVA have no business of adjudicating a felony for god's sake... Had that same kid been off campus and not a student at UVA, he'd be pulling 40 years in prison in Virginia, not walking across the stage with a diploma...
What parent in their right mind would send a daughter to UVA when she's got... a 20 percent chance, a 20 percent chance of being sexually assaulted? That's how bad it is... They've been doing it their way and it doesn't work... And they've essentially told every male, particularly those on fraternity row, it always has been and still is open season on females. They don't have any fear of being turned into the police, and that's going to stop...
The reason they don't come forward is because they know the university is going to try to talk them out of it. They're telling these kids, your parents worked hard to get you here, do you want to blow all of this up? So, yeah, we're going to do something, and we're not waiting for commissions, study groups, or anything like that.
Partial transcript of video at the blog. Will be posting the story referred to next as I hadn't heard of it. It will have a trigger warning in the title of my next reply here.
