Re: RA Crossing the Line

This is in response to something Amanda said in her post about an RA who sexually assaulted a student last year (http://amry-amandas.blogspot.com/). I don't know much about the particular case she wrote about and perhaps in this instance it wasn't followed through on for a reason but I have to disagree on the attitude of "what's done is done" particularly when the topic is regarding sexual assault. So often victims of abuse or sexual assault are never brought to justice because they never speak up because they falsely hold that notion, that such unfortunate events cannot be undone and nothing can be done about what has happened to them. In the U.S. only 16% of all rapes and sexual assaults are reported. That is because today there is a stigma on reporting things like this but it is important for everyone to know that something can be done about what's been done.
