Collegian Editor Responds to Magic Marker-er On Her Blog

While the sharpie wielding individual/s? may get good grades in retro dramatic style their message was unclear, much like Devon Lash’s response. Perhaps a “What about?” or “Why is this in the paper?” would have been more appropriate. Mark Viera’s write up October 15 is more than a crime report. The thing reads like a dialogue, classy since of course the public has a right to know word for word the exchange between an alleged victim and an alleged rapist. Reporting rape for public awareness or public interest? And Devon’s response? It’s good she understands the ethical debate about reporting rape; yes the victim is traumatized three times so while you’re at it, why not paint the general public a not so general picture. The logic behind including so many details of the case? Lash says it’s representing the victim’s voice. Well of course it is. The quotes were directly from the criminal complaint. So if you are victimized by sexual assault, make sure you consider in your report to the police that everything you say will be held against you in a court of law, and graphically published by our Collegian.
