A Washington  University  Student is angry that the University has not come to grips with a rape complaint she made.

According to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch:

"Her complaints add to those already being raised nationwide about whether any university is equipped to be the judge and jury on such cases.

Federal guidelines urge campuses to get to the bottom of sexual abuse and harassment allegations like Hutson’s within 60 days — a target Washington University acknowledges it is not reaching.

But while school administrators will not comment directly on Hutson’s case, they do say the university is seeking to improve from an average investigation time of four to six months."

[...]

"Title IX covers issues of discrimination based on age, race and gender, as well as issues of sexual harassment and violence.

Federal guidelines tied to Title IX mandate procedures for investigating allegations of sexual misbehavior.

But campus-based investigations have been widely criticized. Some accuse schools of failing to investigate rape allegations aggressively enough, while others say the system is stacked against those accused.

A student from St. Louis University, for example, has complained that an inquiry accusing him of sexual assault dragged on for more than a year — holding his education in limbo — before he was cleared.

Many on both sides, meanwhile, wonder if investigations would better be handled by law enforcement.

Looking back, Hutson wishes she had gone to the police. If she had, maybe she’d have a resolution by now, and the investigation wouldn’t be dragging into her summer and likely her sophomore year."

End excerpt.

If there is a crime committed why go to the UNIVERSITY? There is no sane reason not to go to the police if a woman is raped; it is only done to keep the actual law enforcers out of the situation. Why is that?

I would argue that rape is a tool of the feminist/progressive partisans, and they want the numbers radically inflated so they can push for things they want. There is power in being able to accuse a man of rape.

Doubt that? Here is more from the article:

"On Dec. 16, (Katy) Hutson was at a party in a dormitory. In her published account she said she had been drinking and next remembers waking up "with a bloody vagina” and bruises "encircling my neck.”

She broaches the alleged rape only briefly in her column. "It’s not about him,” she says. He was an acquaintance, someone who lived a few doors down the hall from her."

End excerpt.

The "victim" did go to the hospital, but she seems to have failed to follow up after that. Why? She says she had a bloody vagina, but if she was a virgin and voluntarily sunmitted to a sexual tryst (and the boy was probably hardly in better shape) then IT IS NOT RAPE! Rape involves sex forced on a woman against her will. Just because an irresponsible freshman gets bombed and does something stupid does not mean a crime was committed. She knew it, too, or she would have chosen to have forensic evidence from the hospital.

Words mean things. Sex with a drunk girl is a moral fault but hardly constitutes rape. That it is called rape, and that a young man may well have his life ruined by such a charge, and that the accuser may be crazy or ashamed, does not justify redefining the term. This young lady was guity of terrible judgement in all likelihood. Her "rape" was likely her own guilty conscience.

Here is the girl's own account of the incident.

"I went to a dorm party Friday after having a rough day and blacked out around midnight. I woke up next to a monster with a bloody vagina, bruises encircling my neck and a stone deep within my stomach that’s been there ever since. At first, all I could feel was fear. Then disgust. Mostly with myself. I wasn’t a virgin anymore. Eventually I felt nothing. I walked around a friend’s apartment like a zombie. I didn’t sleep, or eat, or turn off the lights. My eyes stayed wide, as everything I could remember played on loop within my mind. I went to the hospital on Sunday and had a rape kit done. Monday I reported to Jessica Kennedy, the Title IX coordinator. All I wanted to do was kill myself. Reporting was what I decided to do instead.
When discussing the logistics of my case, as I was filing days before winter break began, Jessica suggested we not officially start the process till spring so that he (my rapist) could "enjoy his winter break.”

When I met with Jessica, she was receptive, she listened, she stayed unbiased, like her job calls her to. She said one thing though that I’ll never forget. When discussing the logistics of my case, as I was filing days before winter break began, Jessica suggested we not officially start the process till spring so that he (my rapist) could "enjoy his winter break.” I ended up agreeing, as I wasn’t comfortable being interviewed over Skype. While he "enjoyed his winter break,” my mother forced me to explain the hospital wristband she found in my jacket. While he "enjoyed his winter break,” my parents cried as they learned what happened to their baby girl. While he was "enjoying his winter break,” I was having panic attacks, unable to sleep, unable to eat and replaying my mother’s words in my head, "Were you drinking?” Because it had to be my fault, right? I did not enjoy my winter break.

Another thing Jessica asked me in that first initial meeting was if I had talked to him since he raped me. Because, you know, that was first on my list of things to do. She was wondering because sometimes individuals will admit to having relations over text and that can help with the investigation. So, halfway through winter break, I messaged my rapist asking him what happened. I’d already taken Plan B. I knew I wouldn’t get pregnant, but the small tortured part of me just had to know, and a bigger part of me wanted to gather every shred of evidence I could. He responded, admitting to the relations, and I sent his response to Jessica. In his response, he gave a half-assed apology, admitting no guilt. Jessica responded to my email by asking if I still wanted to report. Yes Jessica, his measly GroupMe direct message, "sorry,” in which he took zero responsibility for his actions really made up for him RAPING ME. I sent you that email with the fooking subject line as "Katy Hutson” because I changed my mind about the whole reporting thing. Needless to say, that was the last time I contacted Jessica Kennedy."

End excerpt.

Get that? A rapist hardly texts with his "victim" and apologizes. Nobody is that stupid. And notice the girl does not tell us the results of the rape kit, meaning it probably was at best inconclusive. The student was not arrested as far as we can tell. In America we are supposed to be innocent until proven guiilty.

Notice, too, the almost light-hearted writing of the "victim":

"Friday, Dec. 16, 2016, I sat alone in my dorm room drinking green apple vodka, eating Bear’s Den pizza and staring dejectedly at Michael Scott, begging him to make me smile. Three days later I was doing the same thing, sans alcohol with the addition of some bruises and emotional scarring. Friday night a boy raped me. And it fooking sucked."

Pardon me, but who, having gone through a terrible trauma, speaks this way? Generally real rape victims are reluctant to talk about the incident at all, much like soldiers who have been in battle. This girl uses words like "fookin".

Notice too how the Post-Dispatch did not speak with the police. This article was written entirely from the perspective of the victim without any balance or questions about the account. This fairly reeks of the Duke LaCross case or "mattress girl". The accused - Michael Scott - now faces a lifetime of trouble. We do not know if he is guilty of anything but poor judgement.

Academia and the media are happy to destroy lives. They were the ones who engineered the whole Sexual Revolution in the '60's, and now they are using the fruits of their fondest hopes to attack and destroy people. It is despicable. It is why the public now considers established news outlets like the Post-Dispatch to be fake news. They are.
