“The resolution officer determined that the record does not support by a preponderance of the evidence that respondent engaged in conduct that violated the Policy for Dating Violence under the . . . definition of the policy”.

The client was a student, accused by a fellow student of assault, domestic violence, unwanted sexual contact, and unwanted sexual penetration – all without her consent.

As experts and specialists in sexual assault, we are often asked — is it true that sex crimes and sexual assault is under reported?

Well, the answer is interesting. While there are multiple studies that sex crimes are, in fact, the most under reported crime, that is only half the story. Because at the same time they are as many (or even more) studies that show that sexual assault is also the most over reported crime, and by a large margin.
