1. It's a shameful fact that cover-ups of this sort of crime have been going on for decades.

For example, Notre Dame has quite a history. Does anyone remember what happened during the summer of 1974? The noted journalist Robert Sam Anson wrote a magazine article about it. (Isn't anyone disturbed by the religious hypocrisy here?)

How much moral support do the rape victims in these cases receive from the fans? Well, one of the rape victims in the Penn State scandal was bullied so much by fellow classmates since their little god JoPa was made to look bad, that he had to drop out of his high school. The rape victim in the Steubenville case has had her life threatened despite the conviction and continues to be personally attacked online. So, do the rape victims receive any support from the fans? Well, not much, it appears.
