The Alice Lloyd resident, who had received medical treatment for the assault, reported to the Department of Public Safety that her ex-boyfriend had forced her to have sexual intercourse. Alicia Rinaldi, education and training coordinator for the Sexual Assault Prevention and Awareness Center, said that a majority of crimes against women involve men the victims know and trust. There is an establishment of trust in a relationship that people have, so even the idea of being hurt is so far removed that the thought of preventive steps is alien. Rinaldi said this applies even to students who are in relationships. She added that one of the main myths of sexual assault is that the woman did something to provoke the attack.
Women have sexuality and like men they are interested in pursuing relationships.
Even if you are in a relationship you are not giving up your choice to decide each and every time. Ann Arbor Police Department Sgt. Michael Logghe said that alcohol helps students to lose their inhibitions and can make men more aggressive. In my years here, that's where I've seen the most problems. Logghe said that there are certain rules all students should follow to decrease the risk of being harmed.
