6 months probation for 3 felony convictions of sexual assault? This is unbelievable. Every man and woman should read this but especially every parent sending a kid to college should make this required reading before they leave home.
The fact that this kid only accepts responsibility for drinking too much and NOT for sexual assault tells a great deal about his character and lack thereof. And how do defense attorneys sleep at night? Don't they have kids too?

Sorry - if the only thing that stands between a college-bound kid and committing sexual assault is some letter, both parents and kid have some serious problems.
There was a side conversation on another board about not having to teach sons not to be rapists. But... who are these kids who are doing this with amazing regularity? They seem like normal kids on the outside. Is drinking too much the cause of what would otherwise be decent judgement? Not recognizing that the woman you are dragging behind the dumpster is out cold? But... does drinking allow you to do what you would not otherwise do? Like want to have sex with an unconscious person? When they wake up the next morning and realize that they dumped a woman behind a dumpster, what do they feel? I am guessing not, yah I scored last night. I'm guessing shame? I have a hard time reading the reports, so I don't know.

NO. I've been around plenty of drunk guys, and none of them raped me. It's not a matter of "Oops, I was drunk and one thing led to another."
I don't agree that this is a must-read for college kids. Most don't have the perspective with which to appreciate and learn from the many technical details and emotions it contains.
Schools are covering this topic. One of my older sons just attended orientation last week at a major state university, and every kid there was put into a session - without parents present - about making choices on campus, alcohol, drugs, sex and consent.
It is becoming well-covered territory. The situation with this particular case is more about a problem with the legal system than campus culture.
So... what is it? In this day and age, how are some boys still learning that girls are just .... things?
Apparently, you haven't been reading the posts in the relationship forum from the guys in the Bitter Boys' Club who are resentful and angry and think they are owed sex by women.

Yep. It's the same thing that's ALWAYS made rapists do what they do. It's not anything new.
