The Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime and Terrorism held a hearing on sexual assault on college campuses. Studies indicate that one in five women experience sexual assault while in college. Witnesses included Senators Claire McCaskill and Kirsten Gillibrand, advocates of sexual assault victims, who discussed the Campus Accountability and Safety Act and the recent Rolling Stone story on rape at the University of Virginia. Senator McCaskill called it bad journalism and a setback to sexual assault victims. Other witnesses talked about their programs for dealing with sexual assault and offered recommendations on increasing sexual assault reporting, making victims be the center of the process, and improving law enforcement actions. close
