Senators Exclude Statistics At Premiere Of Campus Assault Documentary

Article here. Excerpt:

'The premiere event for Vice News’ campus rape minidocumentary brought Democratic Sens. Claire McCaskill and Kirsten Gillibrand to George Washington University on a stormy Monday Night, yet notably failed to provide the statistics for the issue and did not mention the creator of a rape protest movement the event celebrated but whose story of sexual assault is now doubted.

Neither the documentary itself nor McCaskill and Gillibrand presented a hard number on the rate for sexual assault on campus — and it wasn’t due to no one asking.
...
McCaskill replied that the statistics for rape are hard to come by, and she couldn’t give a number for the amount of rape cases that were based on false allegations. But she did say that her experience as a prosecutor precludes her to believe that they are especially low due to the arduous process involved in a rape investigation and the toll it takes on a victim.

The documentary itself doesn’t mention the statistics for college rape and just said it’s a “growing problem.”'
