Mary met John at a campus party, and they began talking and flirting on Snapchat. After going on a date, John sent Mary a sexually explicit text. Although it made her uncomfortable, she decided to brush it off. However, his messages became more frequent and more graphic, and he eventually sent her nude photos. Mary asked John to stop contacting her, but he took screenshots of their messages and shared them with friends. He told his friends that she was just playing hard to get and continued to harass Mary.
I never expected to come to Â鶹ÊÓƵ and have someone who worked here to treat me in a way that made me feel so vulnerable, objectified, and discriminated against. When I said something to my friends, several seemed to downplay it, but I still felt so uneasy. One person, though, suggested that what was happening to me might be Title IX related. I hardly knew what that was. How could someone's words or behaviors be Title IX if I had not been physically harmed?
John and Mary went to a party at a friend's house. They didn't realize there would be so much drinking going on but other good friends were there, so they stayed. They settled into the music and food and fun. As the night wore on, Ann, one of Mary's girlfriends seemed to be really out of it. Her boyfriend, Bryan, was all over her. It seemed that he might be coercing her. John and Mary wondered if Ann really wanted that and if she was even aware of what was happening.
