After giving a final at the end of one semester, I was approached by a student enrolled in the class. After trading opening comments, it soon became apparent that she was finding it very difficult to tell me what was truly bothering her. I suggested we go to my office because it offered greater privacy.
It took her one and a half hours to tell her story. It came out it short, courageous bursts. She had been on a date; her date had forced her to have sex in spite of her protests. She felt responsible for what happened.
Unfortunately, hers is not a rare case. I have had a number of friends and students approach me over the years with similar stories. They are the inspiration for this research project.
