    … an Associated Press story detailed the reluctance of local prosecutors to pursue campus sex crimes.

    Probably because chances are they were perpetrated by those in positions of authority.

      Across the U.S., very few campus rapes are prosecuted, both because victims fear going to police and prosecutors hesitate to bring cases that can be hard to win, the AP investigation found.

        Also because the schools intervene to try and keep it from escalating to criminal reports, the campus cops are there to protect the school, not the people at the school.

        Any diversion to “academic” discipline means they don’t have to report it as part of the crime stat.

          Not true. Campuses have to report all sex crimes reported on their ground, so it you could get raped in an off-campus, they would much prefer it.

            And if it never gets reported as a crime… it’s not a “sex crime”, now is it?

            Campus cops are generally paid for by the university rather than a city or state. While they are (usually,) peace officers in the legal sense; they’re still basically a private police force whose paychecks are signed by the school.

            Diverting reports into academic disciplinary complaints is a common way of protecting people the school has an interest in protecting.

            The school gets involved and tries everything they can to protect themselves, including pressuring victims to accept internal processes that generally go no where instead of going to a proper court of law.

            It’s the same as workplace HR departments. They’re going to protect whoever hurts them the least.

          Perhaps first read what I reply to, that would enable you to understand my comment and the context. Then you can even reply with something that actually fits my comment.

              They’ve been here, it’s just that the population is outpacing moderation. I wish there was a way to fund moderation efforts for popular subs.

            I know it’s hard to accept that you may have made a mistake, but we’ve all made mistakes. In this case, you made a mistake. At this point, you can choose to accept that you made a mistake, own up to it and do better next time, or you can not. It’s up to you my friend.

    That is a rough looking 31. He could easily pass for 5 to 10 years older.

    I’m happy they got him and can’t wait for him to be held accountable.

      Maybe I’m reading too much between the lines here, but it seems to me he was homeless in France.

      Then again, the wanted picture is obviously from before he went on the run, so I guess he just lost the genetic lottery on that one.

    And he would have gotten away with it if he hadn’t confessed in writing to the victim.

      Nah, Lincoln was thinner and less… bulbous. This guy looks more like Roger from American Dad roleplaying a used car salesman.
