A group of 13 students from the University of Southern California, along with several other students, who do not wish to be identified, suffered by university administrators and the Department of Public Safety in response to allegations of sexual violence in the campus.
One of the students involved in a complaint at the University of Southern California, or USC, who asked to remain anonymous, said a DPS, or Department of Public Safety, detective said that university police determined that a crime did not occur in the case because the alleged assailant did not have an orgasm, and therefore, they had decided not to refer the case to the police department of Los Angeles.
“Because he stopped, it was not rape,” he said, according to the complaint. “Although his penis entered your vagina, since he stopped, it was not a crime,” he added.
Tucker Reed, founder of the Student Coalition Against Rape, or SCAR, and several other students, expressed their grievances against the school for not taking action against the accused perpetrators, even when presented with confessions.
In response to a Title IX complaint, the U.S Department of Education Office for Civil Rights has launched an investigation.
Office for Civil Rights Director Charles R. Love confirmed in a letter that the agency is investigating allegations that the college failed to process and adjudicate complaints of sexual violence and to respond quickly to complaints of harassment at school. These claims could be violations of Title IX, a federal law on gender equality.
