I was just reading a report that was saying you're as likely to suffer sexual abuse at the hands of a school employee as you are from a priest or clergy looking at data over the last 30 years. However, girls are three times more likely to suffer sexual abuse in general, while 81% of the victims of priests were boys.
I don't really have any great insight as to what those numbers mean. It's possible we react more strongly against gay pedophilia, which gives incentive to organizations to cover it up when they find it, which means that P e d o p h I l I ascandals tend to involve gay P e d o p h I l I awhen P e d o p h I l I ain general is far more likely to be heterosexual pedophilia. Or it may mean something else altogether.
And yes, at the moment discussing possible social policy ramifications of this data is far more interesting to me than reading another post about who the next coach should be - which everyone should look at as an indictment of how unenjoyable this board is becoming.

I know I said I was done posting, but since I'm a Citadel alumni - I figured this was relevant. Of note, the athletes in the school are part of "Corps Squad" and don't actually participate in the real Corps of Cadets. The schools student body programs are rotten to the core and rife with hazing. Additionally, the coaches don't believe in corps of cadets activities and most athletes hide out when required to participate. The gentlemen was involved with the summer camp staff. Here is the campus wide email they sent out as a response.
Members of the Citadel Community:
The Citadel family is deeply saddened that one of its alumni has committed, by his own admission, acts that betray the principles and values for which the college stands. Louis Neal “Skip” ReVille faces a number of criminal charges of child molestation.
There have been a number of media reports concerning a 2007 allegation The Citadel received against Mr. ReVille. We want to make it very clear that, as soon as this information was brought to our attention, The Citadel immediately investigated the accusation.
In 2007, a former camper at The Citadel Summer Camp reported that, five years prior, in 2002, he was in the room of Mr. ReVille along with another camper. The individual stated they watched pornography on Mr. ReVille’s computer. They did not touch each other, but they engaged in sexual activity.
Because of the seriousness of the accusation, The Citadel’s general counsel conducted an investigation immediately, including travelling to the individual and his family and conducting an interview.
A thorough review of Mr. ReVille’s records revealed no other complaints, and interviews indicated that he was highly regarded by those at camp. His file included a clean background check conducted by an outside organization. Unlike his admissions to current charges, Mr. ReVille strongly denied the accusation.
Mr. ReVille was a highly respected cadet whose peers elected him chairman of the Honor Court, and at graduation he was presented the award for excellence in public service.
Some media reports have endeavored to connect Mr. ReVille to Michael Arpaio, who had previously been court-martialed for crimes involving sexual assault of minors and for which the college faced civil litigation. Reports have asserted they worked together at the camp for two summers, however, their work only overlapped during one three-week session in 2001. Nevertheless, the general counsel re-examined the Arpaio matter, and found no allegations concerning Mr. ReVille.
Though the general counsel was unable to corroborate the accusation, the college continued its investigation with the camper’s family, who made it clear they were very concerned about maintaining their privacy and not having their names publicized.
Despite the concerns of the family, whose right to privacy was foremost on our minds, we regret that we did not pursue this matter further.
Four years later Mr. ReVille faces serious charges. We continue to offer our cooperation with any and all police investigations. The Citadel family offers its thoughts and prayers to those who have been affected by these events.

I agree, the negatard posts are sickening to the point where this will be the ultimate solution ...
