Text: On the night of October 15,1992, L.W. and some friends went to a bar located in West Lafayette, Indiana. At the time, L.W. was a sophomore and Evans Scholar at Purdue University. The Evans Scholarship, as sponsored by Western Golf and distributed by ESF, is awarded to deserving golf caddies so that they may attend certain universities. As required in order to keep her scholarship at Purdue, L.W. lived in the Evans Scholar house. After becoming intoxicated at the bar, L.W. was helped back to the house and to her room by several of her friends. One of the people who helped L.W. get to her room was Brent Jenkins. At the time, Jenkins was a freshman Evans Scholar and also a resident of the Evans Scholar house. L.W.'s friends laid her on her bed. She was fully clothed and passed out. As he was leaving the room with everyone else, Jenkins removed L.W.'s shoes. After leaving L.W.'s room, Jenkins returned to his own room and listened to some music. Later, he went to the computer room in the house so that he could type an English paper. The door to the computer room, however, was locked, so he had to return to his room in order to get the key. As he was walking back to the computer room, he passed by L.W.'s room. Jenkins entered L.W.'s room and raped her as she lay unconscious. Jenkins confessed to the rape and he was subsequently convicted and incarcerated.
