    Saw a report several years from an anonymous survey done on the UT campus. Roughly 25% said they had been sexually assaulted. Not sure what their enrollment is, but I’m guessing 25% is a very large number.
    Context is a major issue with the term 'sexual assault' - in Texas it's the legal term for rape, in other states 'sexual assault' means 'unwanted sexual touching' which isn't always sexual in nature.

    True, but that's still too much.

    UT's current student body, by the way, is just over 53,000 students. With roughly half of them probably female, that means probably 6,600 sexual assaults of varying descriptions, many of them rapes or attempted rapes.

    I don't recall all the details of the survey, other than "sexual assault" was the terminology. No idea if or how it may have been defined in that survey.

    Most of it was rapes and the rape kits not getting tested because Art sucks running a police department.
    Houston had the same issue. They shut down our crime lab and created a separate county entity to handle ALL forensic testing. It was supposed to be run by scientists and PHD level folks and not by cops. Harris County said they could fix the issue. Guess what? They suck at it too, especially when it come to processing crime scenes. They even botched up the Harding Street scene and there's still a backlog of rape kits that haven't been tested.
