Students at Lehigh University had a presentation from Paul Sokolow the other day. Sokolow is “an expert on campus safety and high-risk student behavior” — whatever that means — and presented the students with a fun little game.
It’s called: Can you spot the rape? I suppose it’s kind of a Where’s Waldo for the college-aged set.
Paul Sokolow… called on Lehigh University students to be the jury in the case of two students who ended up having sex one night. Sokolow, who presented a lecture Thursday to Lehigh students on “Drunk Sex or Date Rape: Can You Tell the Difference,” prefaced the request by saying the case was true but the names were changed to protect identities. The audience played along.
He went on to tell the story of Todd and Amy. Amy went out to a party on her college campus and met Todd, who offered her five Jell-O shots containing 180-proof grain alcohol. Sokolow said Amy wasn’t aware how much alcohol the shots contained. They were three times stronger than the average drink.
Todd followed Amy back to her dorm room and had sex with her. When Amy woke up the next morning, she did not remember what had happened the night before but found a note Todd had left with his name and number, Sokolow said.
And 35 percent of the people in the room decided that Todd’s following her back to her dorm room was a-OK. (When given to middle-aged people, it’s usually only 10 percent.) Yeesh.
