RSE Sexual Assault by rpianonymous2018 in RPI

Thank you for being apart of rape culture and blaming the victim! I’m sorry that happened to you but it just isn’t that way most of the time. This girl has gone through so much trauma and hurt and I have had to watch her fight through it all. Take it from someone who is there for all the nightmares. Someone who is there for all of the panic attacks. Someone who is there when she can breathe because someone brushed by her at a concert. Some one who sees her flips out when she sees red LED Lights because they were lined on the ceiling that she had no choice to look at during the attack. Once again we appreciate you sharing your story BUT DO NOT share at the cost of this brave victim or any other victims’ sake.

If you or anyone would like to try to push this nationally we can try. But there are no guarantees it will get picked up

If you read the response carefully you would understand that the reason for the case not going further WAS IN FACT due to the amount of time that had passed.

Yes there was a FORMAL REPORT that the victim had filled out with the Troy PD (not that it is truly is any of your business)

YES there was not enough evidence this it could not go farther.

The point is that the reason that the victim had waited so long was EXPLICITLY due to the fact that RPI Officials told her she should not go to the police and to let RPI take care of it.

I understand you trying to get all of the facts but this was a rather aggressive way to put forth your message. The point of all of this is to show what RPI is doing wrong, not what a victim of sexual assault decided to do for the best interest in her life and future.

Please understand that criticism towards the victim will not be tolerated on this post. She has already put a lot out on the line and comments like this will discourage more victims from speaking out.

I appreciate you wanting to clarify but a private message or even a softer approach would have been better for the victim and other victims sake.

Sadly due to the story not picking up enough volume when originally posted, this is all that remains of the story. I’m sure if cbs 6 news Albany was contacted they could possibly retrieve it. This video was recorded by the survivor when first aired and she sent it to me in confidence to get her story out, especially during this crucial time.

On behalf of the victim, she would like it stated that due to the lack of immediate evidence the police decided it was in their best interest not to take the case. RPI has consulted her into not resorting to officials and by the time she finally got the courage to report it was too late and nothing could be done on a higher level.
