Guest Commentary: Sex crimes require open discussion
May 2, 2011It is with a sigh of grateful recognition that sexual assault is finally being discussed and reported within the student community at Ohio University. This is not an unfamiliar issue in my family. My daughter was sexually assaulted on campus just last year. I am sick to death about how these girls are pawed at, poked, pushed, hit, assaulted and raped. My own daughter, who was a student living on campus at OU, was sexually assaulted with the perpetrator’s goal of rape. She fought a horrible fight that left her with deep bite marks, bruises, thick swelling along the side of her body, muscle soreness and a bushel or four of emotional and psychological damage. The OU police, in their interrogation of her, treated my daughter like a tramp. She was so humiliated by what they said to her that she ran out of the building when they were done with their questioning and interrogation. As a result, she refused to press charges. She did not want to go through this again in a hearing or possibly in court.
