California Senate Candidate Kamala Harris cites debunked '1 in 5' statistic

Article here. Excerpt:

'As a prosecutor, I know the threat of sexual assault is real and pervasive, particularly for women ages 18 to 24. Studies suggest that 1 in 5 undergraduate students have experienced sexual assault or attempted sexual assault, and that young women who do not attend college suffer even higher rates of violence. These numbers are chilling and only begin to capture the emotional trauma that sexual assault victims — who include men — will suffer for the rest of their lives. Yet, according to the National Crime Victimization Survey, sexual assault is the most under-reported crime of all.

To help address this under-reporting, my office released a bulletin Tuesday to California’s law enforcement agencies and university leaders; it announces changes in the law that create reporting requirements and standards for campus disciplinary procedures, and it encourages increased collaboration between law enforcement and campus authorities.'
