The CULTURE of RAPE and COVERUP.

Just read the whole article and there is a comment from an Andrew who tried to blame the 'godless, progressives, for the culture of rape.'

On her way back to St. Mary’s College from the University of Notre Dame, just across the street in Notre Dame, Ind., freshman Lizzy Seeberg texted her therapist that she needed to talk ASAP. “Something bad happened,” read her message, sent at 11:39 p.m. on Aug. 31, 2010. A sophomore in their dorm bolted from her study group after getting a similar message. When they talked a few minutes later, Lizzy was crying so hard she was having trouble breathing: “She looked really flushed and was breathing heavily and talking really fast; I couldn’t understand her. I just heard her say ‘boy,’ ‘Notre Dame,’ ‘football player.’ She was crying and having the closest thing to a panic attack I’ve seen in my life. I told her to breathe and sit down and tell me everything.”

What she eventually did tell both her therapist and her friend that night -- then committed to paper, in a handwritten statement she and the other young woman carefully signed, dated and handed over to campus police the next day, is that a Notre Dame football player sexually assaulted her in his room after two other students left them alone there. Yet Notre Dame police, who have jurisdiction to investigate even the most serious crimes on campus, still had not interviewed him when she committed suicide 10 days later -- and wouldn’t for another five days.

By the next day, Sept. 2, the other woman seemed frantic, messaging Lizzy, “I’m freaking out idk what to do.” The player’s friend had started texting Lizzy, too. That afternoon, even as Lizzy and her friend Kaliegh walked to Notre Dame’s police station, where Lizzy identified a photo of the accused from the football roster, Kaliegh said, the player’s friend “was texting and calling her” -- and scaring her all over again. “It was threatening.”

Dosmann was “nice and comforting,” Kaliegh said, when Lizzy told him about all the messages. “He said if [the player’s friend] continued to contact her, to let him know and he’d let him know it wasn’t his business to get involved. She was still upset, but at least she thought it was going to be dealt with.” Not long after they left the police station, Lizzy did hear from the player’s friend again: “Don’t do anything you would regret,” he wrote. “Messing with Notre Dame football is a bad idea.” And that text, said her father, who visited her the weekend after she filed the report, bothered her more than anything. After Lizzy sent Dosmann a screen shot of the last text, he did call the kid, told him to knock it off and interviewed him over the phone.

5. I read the whole sad article, and some of the comments were beyond disgusting.

andrew was bad enough, but the one who said, "it happens, move on" and said, in another post, that rape was nothing more than the "girl" feeling bad the next day, was appalling. I certainly would not want any child of mine, nor those of my friends, anywhere near that person, or the institutions that house him.

7. Henneberger has kind of a questionable history

of RW nuttery and over-the-top defense of holy mother church, but that is an eye-opening story...Sadly, I can attest that college athletes can get away with a lot of stuff as long as they keep it on campus and the AD/campus police can cover it up

8. Campus police are good at covering up. Maybe it is their job description.
