These policies apply to all students at UNL. These definitions and procedures are similar to Title IX policies at other schools across the country as well:

LOL I'm sure the policy defines it about as well as the state of California.

I assume dbq means anyone who has ever done it shouldn’t be allowed to represent the university. I’m guessing since Washington did it before he was a student, he won’t be punished by the school. He’ll be punished by the team if he’s punished.

People need to stop saying this is something every high school kid does. 

 

Sending nudes, which they shouldn't be doing, is completely different than child porn sex assault videos. 

 

Even if it was consensual it's still very different then what you are trying to rationalize it as. 

 

Just stop, it's gross. Shame.

Are you a nevernude?

Along with what Knapp just posted......Pretty much the entire thing.

 

The premise behind it is that we should never question someone who claims to be a victim.  Always believe them and condemn who they accuse.

 

At the same time, she quotes a story of someone who isn't telling the truth when claiming to be a victim.  

 

Now, I will tend to lean towards believing victims when they come forward.  But, under no circumstance should we just be blankly believing everything someone says when they claim to be a victim.  

 

We must be interpreting what she posted in different ways; I didn't pick up on her calling for condemnation in situations of alleged abuse. I interpreted it as her calling for support for anyone who comes forth, and for the allowance of due process to play out, rather than an immediate dismissal of any potential victim due to any set of circumstances.

This is what she said:

 

Quote

It is always appropriate to believe & support those who report a crime against them.

Not every report will b factual, which is why we have laws & investigative processes 2 determine validity, but in no way does this mean we should NOT believe crime victims when they come 4ward.

 

I probably jumped the gun on the condemnation part due to the bolded.  However, everything else in the tweet implies to me that we should always believe people who claim to be victims.  That's literally what her first sentence says.

 

If she is saying that we shouldn't dismiss victims outright.  Well.....I'm not sure why she had to say that.  I don't see anyone doing that publicly yet.

I think sympathy for an alleged victim is acceptable, as is a natural inclination to let due process play out, but I draw a line at incontrovertibly "believing" any alleged victim.

 

I respect and appreciate Brenda's movement, but that feels wrong, just as it would be wrong to directly ignore a claim.

That's my point.

I have read through this entire thread. If I missed this point anywhere, I apologize. In the "Revenge Porn" law, it states that the pic or video must be posted without the victim's consent. There are a few questions I have about this one aspect to the law. What would be the legal definition of "posting"? The other is it's be stated that the victims mother intercepted the original message, but the victim then asked him to send it again. Would it still be without consent if the victim asked him to resend it after being told (by the mother) what the video was? It seems odd to claim emotional distress or embarrassment if you wanted it sent again. 

 

I'm trying to be as empathetic to the victim as I can, I was just genuinely wondering.

I'm trying to figure out if the "revenge Porn" law is in effect when you send it to the person involved. You aren't trying to out them or distribute it. You are sending it to the actual person in the video. Doesn't seem to me that law would pertain in this case.

You sound like a preacher!  There is an athlete code of conduct, so please let UNL address this issue.  Some of these young are not as bad as you think and need guidance.  I'm sure Frost will do what is right for both!

I am letting UNL handle the issue. I am also expressing an opinion on a message board.  Those two things are not mutually exclusive. 

 

I probably sound alot more like the father of a teenage daughter than I do  preacher.

I have a teenage son & daughter, so I understand.  I also understand how emotional youth breakups are and how sex is more common today in teenagers.   Those 2 together along with a state law that says a teenager can not have consensual sex is asking for trouble.

In my opinion, this is more than just offending someone.

To be honest, I would be fine with the University of Nebraska Athletics having a policy, clearly defined and explained to all Student Athletes, that if you use sexually explicit images to hurt/shame someone, you lose the right to represent the university.  

 

I think you have very noble intentions. And I don't fault that.

I think the vast majority of people posting about this have noble intentions,  just differences of opinion.
