<p>My personal opinion is that the solution is going to lie with the victims, honestly. We can create an environment in which it is easy to report and in which the victims feel supported and understood in the process, rather than the generally retaliatory systems universities have had in place for decades. But, in the end, due to the nature of these sexual offenders, their names will show up more than once if we can get the reporting to a high enough rate.</p>
<p>I’m a big believer in innocent until proven guilty. But, I think if even attempted rapes are reported, along with rapes, and the records are kept? This will go a long way to making our campuses safer.</p>
<p>It’s an unfortunate reality, but the only real solution to this is the victims coming forward. Like all criminal sexual offenders, these perpetrators have patterns.</p>
