you get raped because somebody raped you in the end. you know, the drinking issue i try not-- it is obvious fo me in this book that alcohol played a part in many of the rapes i described. but you know there's some research that shows that if you remove alcohol from the equation, the rate of rape wouldn't go up. i mean you know it stays the same is what i mean to say. that alcohol it's-- yeah, it plays a fact never so many rapes. but if drinking wasn't involved, there would be other reasons that people got raped. >> rose: and the most important point or one of the most important points is that it is not in the majority of cases from someone you didn't know. it's not the stranger who a costs you by coming up to your apartment and breaking in. >> that's right. >> rose: it's the person that you thought you knew but didn't. >> 85% of rapes are done by acquaint angs of the victim. >> rose: am 5%. >> yeah, in many cases somebody that knows them well. the main character is a young woman named allison fugut who was raped by a football player wit

completely inundated with mythical behavior. >> rape happens. >> of course rape happens.e pushing one in four. some women is carrying a mattress around and flitting with the guy afterwards. it's like the uva scandal but not getting publicity. that's the norm. >> we're getting away from the topic. >> this is the huge thing here florida has been inundated with oxycontin! oxycontin. that's a big point. >> we're talking about spring break. that's our story. we're trying to -- >> i'm sorry i'm off topic. i'm actually talking about rape. >> rape is bad. >> let me talk. >> she's making a point it happens in college. >> i understand that, and it's horrible. the story we're talking about is trying to change panama city beach. fortt. lauderdale was a big area. they changed. >> daytona also. >> they said panama city needs to seek higher spending clientele and stricter rules. >> of course that's an issue. if you're going to focus on one or two women being raped in panama city, if you want to give those statistics, there were thousands of kids there that weren't engaging in the behavi

you get raped because someone raped you in the end.he drinking issue, it is obvious alcohol played a part in many rapes. some researchers show if you remove alcohol from the equation the rate of rape would not go up. it stays the same. alcohol plays a factor in so many rapes if drinking wasn't involved there would be other reasons people were raped. charlie: one of the most important points is that it is not in the majority of cases from someone you didn't know. it is not the stranger who accosts you by coming up to your apartment and breaking in. jon: that is right. charlie: it is the person you thought you knew but didn't. jon: 85% of rapes are done by acquaintances of the victim. charlie: 85%. jon: in many cases, someone knows them well. the main character my book was raped by a football player who was her best friend since the first grade, someone she trusted like a brother, and she went to a party, drank too much, was offered a couch to sleep on, went to sleep alone, and woke up when she was being raped. people think it must be mo

now a rape. seven people shot. maybe it's time for them to get out of the spring break business. >> i think it's time for them to get out of the spring break business, but i think the court system will help them out. any of these women that were raped while the police could not or did not have the ability or the laws to actually enforce to actually stop this, i mean, the city, to me looks very liable. they actually perpetrated this event. they actually set the stage for these crimes. >> and i think the comments of the mayor saying it's all about the money, and that's why they're not acting, because we're going to lose so much money, i think you're right, there's going to be a liability issue here. >> what mark just says, is exactly right, we're in the private sector now. we'll do an investigation that they have improper security there. improper law enforcement. then you can have that lawsuit that mark's talking about. >> the family of that girl and those seven kids shot will be filing suits, i have very little doub

rape 10 or younger. with sexual violence and victimization and this behavior is common in middle schools and prevention efforts need to start early and matters for the healthy development of children and youth and will shape an adolescent and the individual's life and necessary education start before high school or college. by beginning prevention early we can shape the beliefs and attitudes and behaviors that they never prerp trait sexual violence. we believe it should be comprehensive and layered and throughout the student's career. study shows that a simple one workshop isn't enough to create lasting change and prevent sexual violence and it's not limited to classroom teaching but integrated into school policies and response protocols and trainings and parentses. this can create laster cultural and climate change for the learning environment of each student. a consent standard was adopted for colleges and the notion of affirmative consent moves the responsibility from the victim to the accused and dub

i am the co-founder of [inaudible] a rape organization and to athletes that rape is not tolerated in our communities. i started this program a few years ago when i was 16 and in high school and at the time many cases for schools were on the media and athletes assaulted young women and broadcasted over the media. we don't feel that the repercussions meet the trauma on the victims and we applied for a grant from the board to fund our program and what we did with the program we went into our community, the student athletes and we lawrned our program and curriculum to teach the students we cannot allow this to happen in our community or any community we're apart of it and we went about this from several different angles and with the students we devised a curriculum explaining rape culture and the classifications of rape and what can we do to prevent it from happening to our loved ones and what is classified as rape and what most people don't understand what is classified by rape by definition and don't understand the concept of consent so we went over that so every student we connected u

capital, rape campus. it's egregious in terms or how the university of montana was looked at. do you feel it was a fair assessment? >> no i don't think anyone here does. i think that - the missoula community was heart broken and the campus community was heart broken to be called that. especially because we don't have any more statistically than other university campuses. it's hard to be the example, and hard to be called those things. but if in the long run, it will help the problem get better everybody here is ready to stand up and do something about it. >> since the d ox j agreement -- d ox j agreement, there has been 22 reports of sexual assault and more of rape. a student has been expelled. four formal investigations are ongoing. >> we are seeing that survivors are feeling that it's more comfortable to report. if that's the right choice they are not as intimidated by the process. >> marina volunteers for the student advocacy center or stark, assisting student victims sexual assault. >> i don't think we

rapes, but he told us he had raped 22 women total.re 19 other women out there who he had attacked and terrified. he wanted to remain anonymous, because he was getting out soon and he didn't want any of these victims to see him, because then he'd have to go back into prison. >> when we met him, he was coming up for parole on a 44-year sentence and it wasn't his first time in prison. >> my first rape was in 1975. and i picked up two to ten years on that and i served two. and i was released on parole, i lasted about a week and again was picked up and charged with a rape. i was returned to the santa fe state penitentiary from 1980 to 1986 when i was released again on parole. i lasted on that parole, for about two weeks. and then i began again, serial raping. >> in this rare interview, the inmate went into great detail about the preparations, tactics and execution of his crimes. and while his comments are disturbing, they offer valuable insight into the mind of a dangerous criminal. >> before i would start committing my rapes, i would prep

rape culture in this country does exist.really can be undone if we look at the less sensational stories. >> what do you think universities have to do moving forward? i mean is this a benchmark moment in this corner of society that needs to be addressed? what can universities do as you see it? >> i think there's one thing the universities can do which is set a goal for themselves in an easy metric. that is this. does the rape victim get to graduate in four years? we have to flip the current script that is happening on college campuses. right now in the vast majority of the cases it is the rape victim who eventually gets pushed out of her college career. she becomes isolated. her rapist is running around the campus and saying hi to her and intimidating her and she eventually leaves campus. the rapist continues on his four-year career and he graduates on time. what percentage of rape victims on your college campus are graduating on time and what have you done to move that rapist off the college campus? that's an easy thing for

this is rape capital. this is the rape campus. >> some students caulk on water, they can do no wrong and can get away with murder almost, it seems. >> can scandal force a university to follow a change concept? >> you were putting something out on the market that you didn't think would be safe? >> so i didn't go slumping anymore. >> "america tonight's" michael okwu, is the gulf catch safe to eat ? chen. thisit is high season on the gulf coast. five years since the worst owl spill in u.s. history. in 2010, the deep water horizon exploded and leaked huns of thousands of gallons into the gulf of mexico. there are deep questions about what lies beneath the surface. michael okwu returns there to those who know just how much has changed. >> what kind of fish are you catching in these waters? >> puppy drums, drums,. >> teresa and donald dardar are part of the point ocean india tribe. for more than 40 years these waters have put food on their table and money in their bank account. >> what would you guys do if you w

she was arrested and charged with first degree rape.fled the country, returning to finland, avoiding an indictment. he continues to play hockey there. she has filed a federal title 9 lawsuit against the university, administrators and a campus police officer, claiming the punishment. >> i want to make sure it doesn't happen to anybody again, again. >> federal laws mandate ta schools take action to investigate allegations of rape on campus, as well as reporting them to police. ordering to campus records, the university police never reported the rape to huntsville police or the maddison county district attorney, university officials declined to appear on camera, issue this statement instead: after his arrest the hockey coach tweeted: >> it has a special place. >> reporter: was it fair to say wrong? >> yes, clearly. >> reporter: i hate to say this, i say do not use a single campus facility after you've been raped for beaten up. do not. no campus police, no crisis center, no campus medical center - nothing like that. you go off campus. and i

victim or alleged rape victim. time there are certain pros kols that you need to follow that require and cry outer for corroboration so you know that it's true. and when you have a fraternity -- listen, you know. we've all gone to college. whether we've been in fraternities or not is a different story. you have to know that if the person in that fraternity, certainly their image has been affected, their reputations have been tarnished because of the false statements. i think it's actionable. >> so actionable. let's just say for discussion purposes, danny, this fraternity says i'm not letting this go. i'm going to court. i'm suing "rolling stone" i'm suing jackie if we can find her. i'm suing perhaps even all of the broadcasters who repeated the story because that publication continued and ultimately they're going to open themselves up to intense scrutiny. we're talking about, you know, young men and what young men do at university. and all of the skeletons they might have in their closet. it all becomes fair game.

so we're cool with not helping rape victims. in the meantime wasserman-schultz has reintrou-- introduced the bill an thinks it may pass. >> if it passes then no woman will ever have to face this nightmare ever again, problem solved right. >> i wish it were that simple. it's not automatic. it is up to the state. what we do in the bill is incentivize states that don't have this law in place. we have to either use a carrot or a stick. in this case we chose a carrot. >> i feel like i would have chosen the stick. >> i know the stick can be tempting. >> so constitutionally each state has to change its own laws am quick question why the [bleep] do the states even need an incentive. >> i think that the problem is that it goes back to the suspicion that legislators have of raped women. and not only that some women have been threatened by their attacker who have said if you stop the criminal process against me i will agree not to seek any custody of parental rights. >> just going to get some fresh air. that's it i'm out. i'm out of shock.

three guys raped her. i'm saying this is happening so much more with that, if there's no video, you don't know what's happening and they're not reporting it, sean -- >> doesn't remember. >> the statistic that ainsley had really a fraction of the crime that is occurring there. >> we talked to a cop who was frustrated by the lack of reports because everyone seems okay with this. and i link that to all this molly and heroin. you know, ainsley the thing, the broader story that we were telling is the people that come in from outside the community to prey on the kids. also you have the drugs, the violence, and the sex, and it was all happening and it was very little the sheriff was telling us that he could do about it. he's doing the best, he doesn't have the manpower. >> when you're out there on the beach it is literally, you saw the video, people are getting -- something could happen to you and you might not notice it, the others are minding their own business or too drunk -- >> and you smell pot everywhere. >

so it couldn't just be a rape it had to be a gang rape. and it couldn't be a gang rape, it had to be face injured by shattered glass. all the spectacular elements here the only thing that made it an irresistible tale for "rolling stone" makes it all the more imperative that you check and double check. and it turns out there was no corroboration here because it didn't happen. >> because i mean, even when you read their statements now, they seem to be holding onto this but this was a real thing, but we needed to protect the "victim." and to this day we don't know whether this jackie is a victim or not. in fact, it seems that the victimized party here is phi psi an incredible tale has been spun that has zero basis in fact. >> and jackie is now not talking. and people forget "rolling stone" initially dug in and defended this alleged piece of journalism after it became clear from other reporting. >> and to this day how is the reporter not fired? >> i can't understand -- i don't think "rolling stone" understands what a message that sends that th

. >> a shocking video allegedly shows a young woman being gang raped during spring break in florida. the sheriff tonight will join us and respond. >> hannity starts right here right now. >>> welcome to hannity, a few days after formally launching a run for the white house. hillary clinton stepped out of her campaign van to hold her very first official event. a roundtable discussion at a community college in iowa, here now with all the details from the campaign stock is ed henry. it was nice to see the learjet loving, i haven't driven in 20 years sitting in front of a snap on or craftsman toolbox. >> i think what i was trying to do was go through and figure out exactly how she's going to sell that message that you're stalking about. to voters here in iowa. let's not forget last time she came in third in the iowa caucuses, she came in as the inevitable democratic nominee she may be coming in again this time but perhaps she's learned a lesson from that last experience that she can't take these votes for granted. at least that's what her advisers are claiming on the way in. she sort of r

and other campuses don't handle rapes. in vow they've had zero expulsions for rape over the past decade, even in instances when the alleged perpetrator confesses and over the same time they've 3 honor expulsions like cheating on a test. and that might be bad at vow but research shows that is a common problem across universities they don't treat the crime as seriously as we could. how can we change that university adjudication to treat this crime more seriously. >> and i think the federal government has led the way in holding colonels to a higher standard. but these sort of sexual allegations and crimes are so difficult and the flip side for under-reporting are also students falsely accused. so schools have really treacherous borders to navigate. and when you add in student privacy laws which the cole report talks about, and to get information about students, whether they are accused or victims. this is a long process. i hope this story is a bump in the road toward better more honest and fairer treatment on every side of st

"america tonight's" christof putzel on a young man falsely accused. >> for allison strange it began with a phone call about her son josh. >> the phone call. there's always that one call that you never expect to get. it was a voice that wasn't josh. and he said josh has been arrested. >> and you didn't know why? >> no. i had no idea. i had no idea. i'm sorry, it all just really floods back. >> reporter: the campus of auburn university is where josh st

being raped by someone you trust as much as allison hugh, the woman who has raped by her best friend,in many ways more devastating than to be raped by a stranger, research shows this. >> brown: there are instances where things are followed up by authorities and other where they are not. >> missoula became the focus of the department of justice's investigation. and among these 350 cases the d.o.j. looked at, they found that the missoula prosecutors almost never prosecuted a case that involved drugs or alcohol. well, drugs and alcohol are present in almost every rape case. and that's common too because it's so challenging to prosecute rape cases, especially a college town like missoula with a very good football team and football players are elevated-- they're gods. to get a jury who will convict a football player in a place like that is very difficult. the prosecutors can't get convictions because juries all love the grizzlies so prosecutors become jaded, the police become lazy about investigating sometimes or resign because in missoula even when they get signed confessions, the prosecu

several more students made rape allegations. uv alum said that she was raped 20 years earlier at a party at the same fraternity house. >> i truly feel that nothing has changed since 1984. when i read jackie's story i'm back in that room. it is the same place. it is the same smell. it is the same feelings of being groped. >> last month the charlottesville police department announced that investigators found no evidence to support the allegations made by jackie. adding that it doesn't mean that something terrible didn't happen to jackie. "rolling stone" says that no one will be fired for the errors in the report. >>> vote necessary ferguson, month m are preparing to go to the polls for a vote that could change that city's leadership. tuesday's municipal elections are the first since last summer's killing of michael brown voters could put up up to three african-americans on the city council for the first time in the city's history. diane he is easter brook has more from ferguson. >> this building is ready for demolition. >> was you

unfortunately, date rape and acquaintance rape is actually common on campuses like uva.lot of stories you could tell about that. but instead, this writer wanted to find frankly a more horrific, more appalling, more shocking example. she ended up going with the story about jackie that did not seem to hold up. there's also something to be said for the idea that the magazine was looking for something that they wanted to be true. that it wanted jackie's story to be true. it wanted to believe jackie. and by the way, that's an understandable impulse. when we hear about victims' stories, we want to believe them and want to sympathize with them. the hard, really hard part for journalist is having to be incredibly skeptical and even cynical when dealing with victims. and yet still being human. somehow still be human and warm and empathetic. that is the very fine line that journalist face when they're covering crime and trauma. and in this case, "rolling stone" did not get it right. >> the magazine is officially retracting the story. they say they're going to make the entire repor

rolling stone said that the rape the editor of the rape story will not be fired. they said that the reporter violated basic rules of journalism. >> she wrote a rape on campus to explore the issue of sexual assault. she used an alleged rape victim to illustrate the crisis. jackie a sued in this matter told her that she was raped repeat lid and she called friends for help. but jackie's story and the "rolling stone" report began to fall apart beginning with a "washington post" investigation. in december a month after the story was published, "rolling stone" issued an apology on its website and initiated the review by the colombian journalism school. that review was released sunday night and is sharply critical of erdly and rolling stone. three flowers of reporting stand out. they involve basic even routine journalistic practice not special investigative effort. and if these reporting pathways had been followed, rolling stone very likely would have avoided trouble. erdly failed to corroborate jackie's account. erdly failed to reveal jackie accounts to the fraternity.

my name is alyssa and the community educator with san francisco against rape. part of my role is to do presentations, support groups, peer education, assemblies and tablings for youth in our city including the school district. to me this topic is very important because it's estimated that one in three girls and one in six boys are raped before 18 so youth are dealing with these issues whether or not we're providing the tools for them to have those conversations to support their peers and it's our responsibility to provide the tools and respond to this as a community with the youth and prevent this and create a culture of connection without violence. why this is important i had the opportunity to talk about this issue directly with middle school students and high school students and i had middle school stiewnltses since seventh grade in sex harassment and sexual assault presentations and where do you feel safe and they tell me they don't feel safe anywhere, not in home or schools and it's important to address this as early as possible so students are not interna

it shows nonstudents are more likely to get raped than students are. and not just that brit but the facts show, this is from, the bureau of justice statistics, showing sexual assault has been cut by nearly two-thirds since 1995. what's really happening here? >> what's really happening here is i think an almost entirely false narrative, a word i didn't used to like but i have to use it here, has been perpetuated i think largely by the american left. but a great many journalists have bought into this. college administrators across the country under pressure to some extent from the administration, from the government, are accepting this as fact. you see it echoed, even throughout this by the comments of the president of the university of virginia, teresa sullivan. when the charlottesville police department came out and said they could find no evidence that this crime actually happened, the thing that she wanted to point to was something in their report that said that indeed the university had been simympathetic to this woman who claimed to have been raped
