Drake University Fraternity Brother Unaware He Was Sexually Assaulted

In Des Moines Iowa at Drake University a fraternity brother realized that he had been sexually assaulted when he saw  images on another fraternity brother's computer.  The images showed he was 'out of it' and being sexually assaulted. He remembered nothing of this act against him and it appeared that he had been drugged while this had happened.  He put the images on a memory card and took the images to the police.   This story is very upsetting to me.  I am from Des Moines and lived close to Drake University.  I think my husband still has our Drake University sweatshirt.  It is upsetting to me for more than that, my oldest son is just days away from heading off to college.  Granted it is not Drake University or any university in Iowa, but he is heading off to the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.   It is upsetting to me as he will be away from home for long periods of time and could be a victim of a random act of violence.  He could be a victim of an act of violence purposed for him.  College is often a time of exploration, alcohol, drugs and stupidity.  This does not mean that my son will partake in the worse case scenario, but I attended college and I know.   Obviously I would want my son to make smart choices that lead him to become accomplished in life in worthy endeavors.  But there is a chance that his roommate, classmates, group mates and others he comes in contact with give him the opportunity to make stupid choices.   There is something remarkable to have the courage to take the images of yourself being sexually assaulted to the police.  To have the courage to take these images you just viewed for the first time before you have time to understand really it yourself is remarkable.   So the lesson is what?  To make good choices that do not allow you to be placed into the position that this young man was in.  Or what it to do the right thing after your find yourself in this type of position?  It is hard to make this young man out to be the bad guy when he was drinking and ingested a drug unintentionally.  It is hard to make this young man out to the bad guy when he was drugged and sexually assaulted.  But it is a mother's responsibility to make sure that your son or daughter know that no matter what 'stupid' thing they may have done that they never deserve to be sexually assaulted.  It is a mother's responsibility to let their child knows that they will be loved and supported no matter what happens.   Taking care of the written word, dannielyn
