Stanford Student Says He Was Sexually Assaulted By A Female Student

Story here. Excerpt:

'A male Stanford University student says he initially wasn't believed when he told a sexual assault counselor that a female student had sexually assaulted him, he writes in a recent op-ed article in student newspaper The Stanford Daily.

Senior Justin Brown says that in October 2013 a female student sexually assaulted him after a drunken encounter at a party on campus. While Brown writes that sexual contact with the female student was initially welcome, including her putting her hand down his pants while they made out, he knew he "didn't want to end the night in her bed" and decided to help her back to her room because she was drunk.

Brown writes that he "felt stuck" while walking the female student home, as they repeatedly stopped to make out. According to Brown, these "stop-offs" became unwelcome, and he began to resist her advances:

"After a while, these stop-offs became less of a mutual decision and more of a demand from her. I began denying her advances; it was late and I just wanted to get her home safely so I could get some sleep. She continued to engage with me and I denied her requests with a verbal "no" several times ... I did my best to stick to my "no" every time she demanded more, but at each denial she would stop dead in her tracks and refused to walk with me unless I complied."

Brown went along with the advances, he writes, believing he "had only one option" if he wanted to ensure that the drunk female student got back to her room safely.'
