Why Moms of Sons Accused of Campus Sexual Assault Are Banding Together

I did a back-of-the-envelope calculation and came up with 1 in 871 men reported for assault on campus.

I tried to reproduce the 1 in 871 figure but couldn't find the same envelope. My numbers are similar, however. Strangely, the number of reports of "sex offence - forcible" in 2014 is reported as 6723, not 6314 as stated in the article. Of these, 4435 ar listed as rape and 2288 as fondling. The offense is further defined in a footnote as " Any sexual act directed against another person forcibly and/or against that person's will". The "or" is important, of course.

OK, so let's just agree that about 1 in 1000 men will be reported for a serious sexual offense in a given year. There are more women than men on campus, so about 1 in 1300 (say) women will report a sexual offense. we are told that only 1 in 10 sexual offenses are ever reported, so that means 1 in 130 women experience this in a given year.

Wait. . . . What?
