Sexual Assault Case Summary

James Barbour owns up to his actions in 2008 by admitting he molested the then fifteen year old girl in his dressing room (Wikipedia Contributors). James Barbour got off with only sixty days in jail and three years’ probation where he was required to attend the same treatment a sex-offender would (Hartocollis). He then had to receive permission from the court or his probation officer if he wanted to work on a show with child actors and was not allowed near “playgrounds, arcades, amusement parks, school grounds or Internet chat rooms frequented by children without permission from his probation officer” (Hartocollis).

Mulla uses a variety of victims’ narratives, forensic nurses’ statements, and detectives and attorneys, along with research studies to strength her study on the different topics of forensic sexual assault intervention. Each chapter of this book contains a different topic that contextualizes the overall topic of medico-legal intervention in sexual assault. These topics include DNA, time, emotions, reproduction and production, technology, documentation, home and healing, and patient compliance. Each one of the topic alludes to how this medico-legal intervention contributes to a victim undergoing more “violence” that is in the form of “care”. Using the narratives of victims, research about sexual violence, and personal observations in each of

He explained to us this would probably be his final words on spoken tv ever. In the interview, we

In Mar. 2002 Jim Bob went to the police and told them that his son had sexually molesting several victims in his home while they were sleeping and that several incidents occurred four to five times. The files were sealed and put away.

“One in five women are sexually assaulted while in college” (Not Alone, 2014). In our class of twenty women that means that possibly five women have been sexually assaulted. Out of the five women that I stated could have been sexually assaulted they may have known the perpetrator and often will not report what has happened. According to the spring count of students completed by West Chester University, 9,211 of those students were females (“Headcount Enrollment”, 2014). If I go by the statistic mentioned earlier that one in five women is assaulted that would mean that 1,842 women have been sexually assaulted while enrolled at West Chester University of Pennsylvania. Out of 1,842 possible assaults only four were reported last year. Two of which the victims knew prior to the assault. Rankin and Associates consulting conducted a Climate Assessment on West Chester University in September of 2010, a section of the results focused on sexual assault on students. According to the report seven people who reported a sexual assault to the university described their reactions to the universities response. Two students shared the way they felt the response was inappropriate or poor. One described that they felt the suspension for one semester was not an appropriate response to an admitted rape, that public safety lost the victims statement, judicial affairs painted the victim offender as innocent, and that the registrar protected the offender putting the victim in harm’s way and everyone

On December 16th, 2016 I, Investigator James Poffel was assigned a case in reference to a sexual assault of a 9 year old juvenile female report. It was reported that the incidents took place several times, first occurring sometime in June of 2016 and the most recent encounter we are unsure at this point of when it occurred.

Late November of 2014, many students at Southern Oregon University are starting to get ready for Thanksgiving, finals, and Winter Break. However, during this time, my life was forever changed. In 2014 I was raped, twice, by someone I thought was my friend, someone I trusted, someone who I had even had consensual sex with once before. Sometime during the night, I can no longer remember certain details, my attacker got on top of me as I was doing homework and started to forcefully take off my clothes, trying to entice me into having sex. He then forced himself inside me and raped me. It took me four months before I had realized that I had been raped and that he had terrified me enough to stay with him for a week after the first attack to rape me one more time. After what had happened I didn’t report the attacks until seven months after the attack, I did not know enough information about him for the police to do anything other than taking a formal written and oral statement.

According to official records, when Earl was age 11, he sexually assaulted a 13-year-old boy with developmental delays that was known to him.

described as any sexual act that is unwanted by somebody else. These acts incompass penetration with genitals and/or objects without consent, rape, unwanted sexual acts such as oral sex and touching of somebody’s body without their permission and is all about “power and control” (Sexual Assault). It is important to note the misconception regarding rape. Rape falls under the category of sexual assault not every case is rape (Sexual Assault). Sexual assault on college campuses is a reoccurring problem and it seems as if colleges aren't doing much about it. These abusive incidents happen on a day to day basis and it is not getting the attention and awareness that

Sexual assault kits (SAKs), also colloquially known as “rape kits,” are typically collected when a victim seeks medical care following an assault and consents to completing a kit. A SAK has many steps and can take hours to complete, depending on the injuries sustained by the victim and the training of the staff available on hand. To collect the best evidence possible, the victim will not have urinated, changed clothes, consumed any food or beverage, or showered before a kit is completed. A test typically begins by affirming the victim’s consent and explaining to them that they are permitted to stop, take a break, or skip any step as they feel necessary. Then, the victim is asked to disrobe on top of a sheet and their body is lightly brushed

University of Tennessee Knoxville was recently involved in a lawsuit for enabling athletes to sexually assault women by silencing the victims and failing to provide disciplinary actions or even investigation onto the accused. While this is a recent case, this is not the first time this sort of behavior involving a school has been brought into light. One in four women will be sexually assaulted by the end of their undergraduate career (Posluszny). Sexual assault happens throughout society no matter what the gender or age, seeming to be in increasing epidemic over the last few years. While the idea of sexual assault is largely met with public hostility in theory, actions often contradict this. This contradiction lies heavily in a culture that is unwelcoming to the victims and often leads to the perpetrators being tolerated. The existence of rape culture in western society occurs due to the preservation of violent media, patriarchal standards, and the state of the criminal justice system. This culture cannot be improved until we confront each of these problems to their roots.

The last thing that had a great impact and disbelief was the way in which commanders handle the accusations of victims of sexual abuse. When sexual assault cases are reported and investigated, most of the blame falls on the commander in charge of the unit. For that reason, most commanders rather put the blame on the victim and drop the cases. In some cases, the victim ends up paying the consequences for reporting a sexual assault, a common consequence is a dishonorable discharge which could reduce the chances of that person to find a job in the civilian world, it also reduces their military benefits.

Based on the scenario, and the definition of Quid pro quo she this case unequivocally qualifies for a filing of sexual harassment claim under both sections of sexual harassment – hostile work environment and quid pro quo. The text from Bennett describes the definition as "sexual harassment in which the harasser requests sexual activity from the harassed in exchange for workplace benefits" (Bennet, 2012-2017).

Sexual assault and rape are on-going issues plaguing college campuses all across the nation. In part, I believe this is due to a lack of education on what sexual assault actually is. All too often, victims are leaving these situations feeling confused about something that they will forever deem "a weird night". It often isn't until much later that they realize what happened to them was a violation of their body and of their rights.
