Students call for punishment of campus rape suspect

Article here. Excerpt:

'About a dozen UC Berkeley students and members of the group "By Any Means Necessary" loudly protested outside a hearing was to determine whether a student they say raped a co-ed last year should be punished.

The protesters want him expelled.

"We're building a student-lead independent movement to put the pressure not just on the administration, but on the rapist, and force them out and expel them. So survivors can go to college campuses without having fear about running into the rapist," said Angela Dancev of By Any Means Necessary.

Student Stephanie Garcia has publicly claimed the student raped her in a dorm room in October of 2014. Her supporters have posted flyers all over campus with the title rapist above the student's name and picture.

But the Alameda County District Attorney's office says it reviewed the case and declined to press any charges.

The university says the student was last enrolled in the fall of 2014, but that it is prohibited by law from commenting further.'
