Campaign to Distort the Truth and Trivialize Rape
 Relying on a series of myths that serve to preclude open debate and engender “rape frenzy,” activists are working to revamp how sexual assault is defined and adjudicated. These changes include:
- Watering down legal definitions of sexual assault, thus minimizing the horror of rape.
- Removing the presumption of innocence and key due process protections for the accused.
- Vastly increasing governmental oversight of citizens’ private sexual lives.
These changes are being promoted by Department of Education policies that mandate felony-level crimes be handled by campus committees; Affirmative Consent policies which classify 99% of sex acts as rape; and a controversial proposal to establish a new Model Penal Code on Sexual Assault and Related Offenses. |
