During spring break one of the captain of the lacrosse team decided to throw a party and have two strippers there. One which was Crystal Mangum who has a mental problem and did not feel like preforming due to maybe the combination of alcohol and drugs. The party turned ugly and some people left and Kim Roberts the second dancer called the police to come and take her home or somewhere for help. The nurse asked if she was rape and the answer was yes for Crystal that knew the system well. The group of 88 of Duke facility had unequivocally asserted that something had happened to Crystal. This quickly turned into a racial motivated crime led by Mike Nifong. The lacrosse coach was forced to resign and the remained season had to be canceled due to the accusations. …show more content…

It was very incintiful to look at this case for me because I would have thought that Duke players would have been innocent until proven guilty and did not believe that many people would take interest since the victim was a black striper. I would have thought that Duke would have tried to hide the scandal like so many other university that do not revel the number of rates “sexual assault" happens in their campus. This showed me the reaction I did not expect and the outcome as well because most of the people in the media, Duke’s facility and administration presumed the players guilty and not only that but very broad moral judgments were drawn against them. It was the North Carolina Attorney General that declared the players innocent and said that they were a victim of a “tragic rush to accuse.” It was a really closed minded approach to the case and It hurt the reputation of the boys as well as the school. Actual really vicitim are now doubted because os stunts like this and it is sad to

    Collectively, they publicly sought to deny the existence of a crisis looming at Penn State concerning various allegations levied against Jerry Sandusky. While their true motives for denying allegations in the decade leading up to the crisis may never be known, it is apparent their strategy and actions played a crucial role in what now is unequivocally regarded as a ‘cover-up’ by Penn State University officials. Employment of this strategy was evident in the manner in which Paterno, Spainer, Curley and Schultz ultimately addressed allegations of Sandusky sexually assaulting a young boy on Penn State property in early 2002 – nearly a decade before the crisis erupted in the national

    Michigan State is being investigated by Betsy DeVos and her department on what the university knew, and what they could’ve possibly been covering up. The New York Times states, “The lawsuits and the legislative inquiries center on what Michigan State knew about Dr. Nassar’s behavior during the two decades he worked there. Several victims have alleged that they had told Michigan State employees, as far back as the late 1990s, about being molested under the guise of treatment.” Many victims (along with the public) are outraged with the university.

    There were claims on the Manton case study that Dixon had prior history of engaging in sexual activity at his high school, which led Dixon to be suspended twice for the prior sexual acts. At the time of this incident, Dixon was 18 years old, and the “victim” was 15 (Manton, 2005). Following this factual information, Dixon at that time claimed that the sexual act was consensual and accused the girl of fabricating the story because of fear of her parents finding out and punishing her for sleeping with a black man (Manton, 2005). Several charges were suggested for Dixon which included: statutory rape, aggravated child molestation, rape, sexual battery, false imprisonment, and aggravated assist (Manton, 2005). Dixon was then acquitted of a majority of the charges and found Dixon guilty of statutory rape and aggravated child molestation (Manton,

    The Pennsylvania State University Jerry Sandusky Child Molestation case shed light on to a long line of horrific acts of sexual abuse and corruption within college football. Jerry Sandusky was an assistant football coach alongside the iconic football coach, Joe Paterno. While Sandusky was not brought to trial until 2012, reports of Sandusky sexually molesting football players and young boys date back to 1994 (Chappell, 2012). This was not through lack of acknowledgement; many of Sandusky’s victims came forwarded and reported the assaults to campus police, the Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare, head coach Joe Paterno, the senior Vice President, and the Penn State Athletic Director. Penn State’s blatant cover up of abuse allegations is worrisome and cannot be tolerated.
