"Date-Rape" Down at UNH, And Men Can Be Victims Too

Nightmist writes "In this story on Excite News, Dr. Ellen S. Cohn of the University of New Hampshire says that incidents of date rape and nonconsensual sexual contact are on a decline on that campus. The most interesting part of this study, however, is at the end of the article, where Cohn admits that 8 percent of men in the study reported unwanted sexual contact and 4 percent reported unwanted intercourse. Said Cohn: "I think that people for the most part have associated victims with being women. But in fact we know that there are cases of men who are victims, as well. I think it's just harder for men to come forward and admit that they've been victims.""
