Brown U Student Shares His Story Of Sexual Assault

It was Andrew's sixth day of his freshman year at Brown University when he was assaulted by a male student in his dorm bathroom. When Andrew brought on-campus charges, his assailant was permanently expelled.
Unlike myriad students who report mishandled cases in the burgeoning national campaign against sexual assault, Andrew initially believed his case was handled appropriately.
But after further research from The Huffington Post revealed Andrew’s assailant had previously been found accountable for two other cases of sexual misconduct and not expelled, Andrew was devastated.
Andrew has decided to share his story in hopes that victims of assault -- and specifically male victims -- be taken more seriously.
“It’s time to include male survivors’ voices,” he said. “We are up against a system that’s not designed to help us.”

    Why you are sorry for Andrew is stunning to me. Yes, every victim of sexual assault should be respected for what they have gone through. Willingly walking into a bathroom stall with another man to have sex, regretting it later, and making a claim of sexual assault is revolting behavior. Don't want to have sex, don't go into bathroom stalls and have sex of your own free will. Just say no and/or walk away.

    If the other guy told Andrew to jump off a bridge would Andrew have jumped? What about the guy in the bathroom stall made Andrew go in with him? Could it be that he wanted sex so he went into one of the most profoundly private places known universally, where one defecates? Why is this not obvious. If anything, both young men should have been put on suspension for getting it on in a public place wherein Innocent students rightfully expect to be able to go to do their nonsexual bodily functions without having to deal with moans, groans, or whatever one does in private when engaging sex. Andrew, in my opinion, is no victim and did something indecent by calling this sexual assault.

    It’s toxic masculinity. Anyone can be assaulted. Toxic masculinity is why men are not likely to speak openly as adults that they were molested as children. It doesn’t matter they were little helpless kids. Toxic masculinity is still used to shame them. That shame is weaponized even more when assault happens to men as adults.

    Alex, did you follow another dude into a bathroom stall, because if you did, you should get help. If you were assaulted, you have my deepest sympathy, however, if you willingly had sex in toilet stall with another man, I say grow up and take responsibility for your actions. Andrew got off with another dude and he willingly followed him. The other guy was not a "big bro" to him. The other dude was a stranger that he followed and had "sex" with. That was the word Andrew used, sex. In my opinion, as an actual sexual assault survivor, you should join me and condemn Andrew for making a mockery of actual sexual assault.

    @@tylerketchum3315 Tyler, grow up and stop being brainwashed. These were two homosexual men and their customs are different. Sadly, because of having to be secretive for many generations, things like having sex in bathrooms for some are still common. An act of agreeing to come into the stall is a nonverbal cue of saying yes. Then, further consent was given by not saying no. A young man who is not able to say no to an advance into a bathroom stall and then to boot, one that elects to stay there, is one who has the emotional maturity of a child and does not belong in an adult sleep-away environment such as a dorm. Everyone else need not act like a child to accommodate a "kid" who doesn't belong living an adult environment. We are dumbing down adulthood to infantilize. Again, what if God forbid there is a war and we need young men with the backbone to fight it? A young man who can't say no to an advance and in so doing actively participates is a disturbed individual. ...and when and if he grows up, he should seek to in whatever way possible to spend the rest of his life trying to make it up to the other boy who committed only the crime of being an "highly-sexed" young men propositioning another--he won't have been the first sex-driven young guy who somewhat aggressively seduced another person. This somewhat new rap panic is highly orchestrated by a criminal justice system somewhat at the mercy of a feminist dogma that is extreme. Some rape cases were not treated seriously years ago and this was wrong, very wrong, however, with that said, this nonsense is extremest and unethical and zealots like you ought to be ashamed of yourself for going along with it and creating abject hysteria in the process.

    Michael Did you watch the video? Not only he SAID he was not interested, his account is exactly how panicked reactions follow: frozen by fear. Abscence of "no", thus, obviously doesn't mean consent. It takes a minimum of discernment to not continue touching a person who is clearly shocked and afraid. Plus, its a gross and fallacious observation you made on gay men. If two gay men walk into a bathroom, it does not follow necessarily that they will have sex, and we cannot blame sexual assault victims for simply exercising their right to freely move around without being constricted by these generalizations. And then you speak of backbone... yes, maybe if he said something or reacted in a firmer way, it wouldn't have happened. But we can't demand that - we need to demand people (mostly men, and I say this as one) to stop feeling entitled towards others' bodies. Blaming the victims lack of reaction is nonsensical when we should strive, first and foremost, for doing so with the agressor's reaction. This also says much, indirectly, about the absolute irrelevance of yours comments about war. I know this comment is 6 months old, but I cannot abide to stay in silence before it.

She told me later he was well known in his city. He has kids now.

    I've been raped twice. The first time I got drugged at what a friend told me was going to be a house party back in 2014. As soon as I got there, he offered me a drink. I accepted because I thought I was early and wanted to relax. The next thing I remember is him on top of me taking my pants off and then I was out. I woke up next to him the next morning. He was twice my size so I waited for him to get up then I ran out of there as fast as I could . The second time was a few years later. I was out of state at a gas station I walked to because it was close to my hotel to pick up some snacks because I was expecting company. I thought it was going to just be a casual get together. But joke was on me, because the catfish showed up at the gas station, abducted me, then took me to his house, pulled me from the car, and then dragged me inside. I pleaded with him not to because I was still not ready for intimacy (a fact that cost me a relationship) but he didn't care and made me undress.

    Why are you encouraging Andrew? Clearly this kid is so lost as he is not fit to protect himself in the most basic of ways. If someone motions to him to jump out the window, would he jump. If he gets toward the window and that person is lifting him up to throw him out the window will he freeze up and not say, no, or push back, or run or scream or whatever. It's a sickness that is happening at colleges and stop feeding it. Imagine if we had a war and we had to draft young men. Are you kidding me siding with this weakling of a grown man. We need to encourage him to be a man, not a boy, and have agency. It's his body and if he doesn't want to be touched, he has to do whatever necessary to make that clear. The other guy came onto him so big deal. I am straight and if a guy grabbed my crotch, I would just say, Not into that. I wouldn't have him expelled or prosecuted.

The worst thing any person can do when help up with a knife or gun is get in a car with him. DO NOT EVER FOR ANY REASON GO TO ANOTHER LOCATION WITH THAT PERSON. THERE IS ALMOST a 90% you will be murdered or wished. I am a gay good looking & it took only once, a few seconds to let my guard down. I knew better & for that only take responsibility. I never asked for anything from him, not even a kiss. The only reason I did not prosecute him was for what he said the next day when he was standing out next to my car. Yes I came inches from kicking & breaking his leg or jaw. But I would be in jail no matter what he had done. He had a huge personal problem & he needed help not jail time. It's been over 20 + years & yes we keep in touch. Now, he is a great guy & we both grew from that horrible time. Not everyone should forgive, & personally if it was anyone other than him I would have prosecuted. I know it does not make logical sende, but for me, completely. Everyone makes mistakes & I would hope I would be given another chance. He never lied about anything & explained everything knowing if it got out what happened his famous career would probably end.

He was semipotent and the times we had sex he was weak and uninspiring. He has been thoroughly reported and revealed after he confessed to me that he is a child groomer and rapist.

    Why didn't you walk or run away when the child porn was being played. I wouldn't ever watch that crap and no one could make me unless I was tied up or held by gunpoint. Four days, I assume you got up to take a leak, why didn't you leave? Andrew walked into a toilet stall and no one forced him. Neither you nor he should be in adult situations if you cannot say no to illegal or immoral or uncomfortable behavior. You could have been prosecuted for watching that material with your boyfriend and perhaps you should have been because by not walking away your participated. If the two of you were on a hike and your boyfriend started up with a child, would you have stayed with him for four days and watched. Respectfully, I think you need professional help and your boyfriend needs it to and legal investigation as well. You say you exposed him, what about exposing your own culpability for watching that stuff. I find it grotesque that two grown men could watch that crap.

He said to try relaxing, he then smiled when he saw I could barely move, pulled down my pants and the rest I'll leave off here because it's too painful to type.

In the full article, it was published: "He came up behind Andrew, grabbed his crotch and moved him into the bathroom stall. Frozen, Andrew protested but did not fight back, scared of what would happen if he did. For 15 minutes the stranger assaulted him. Andrew has a hard time articulating what he felt during the assault.

A man that cannot say no when another man wants to have sex is not a man. Any male can and should be taught this as a child. No man that lives in a dorm should be there if he doesn't know how to say no. Respectfully, I think what you are saying is terrible and will scare the wrong people. The guy, if we are to believe Andrew, came onto him in the middle of the night and Andrew was tired and said no. Andrew changed his mind and walked into a bathroom stall with the guy and in Andrew's own words, it was the fifth time he DID SOMETHING with a guy. Let him grow up and take responsibility for his own will and his own body. What was the other guy supposed to be a mind reader. From Andrew's story, the other guy asked him to go into the stall with him and he did. If Andrew is asked to jump off a bridge, is he not supposed to know how to not jump. Come on, Andrew is clearly narcissistic and playing the victim card and he's not even bothering to tell a convincing story.

Additionally, making consent simple is also best. No means no is just fine. Sometimes a no may switch to a yes, and that's a fact. At some point, for example, a grown man not walking into a bathroom stall with another man must be expected if he first says no, in other words, nothing says to me one has changed their mind much more than walking into a bathroom stall. We must not give into insanity for the sake of histrionics like Andrew, in order that all of the other sane students can if they are so inclined, change their minds in such situations which they often do. Human seduction is part of sex. Often one party has to entice or woo another one into the mood. Because Andrew is a hysteric and destroyed another human being's life as a result, the rest of humanity need not protect him. He was not fit to be an adult situation yet most other adults are. We don't protect those that drive just because they are of age if they can't see the road and demand to drive. The rest of us want to drive and incur the risk that being behind the wheel is. That said, if a blind man insists he has the right to drive and he insists we should support him when he causes a car crash and in addition, he wants to be paid damages, we should not indulge this madness. We should Not support this type of childish inability to make reasonable decisions. We could stop all driving because a blind man "should have the right to drive," but we don't, at least not yet. We can and sadly have extended sexual assault to mean a young adult man that cannot say no to walking into a bathroom stall? No, I say, let's make sure our adult men act like adults. Andrew was an adult and acting like a disturbed narcissist debasing the horrors that actual victims endure.

Both young men should have been reprimanded for having sex in the school's public bathroom. I would not want to use a bathroom wherein people are having sex in a stall. The school took an action under Title Nine to protect themselves from lunatics like Andrew. Older people know this is insane. You should to. There is no there-there with this story.

    Thanks, strong,n courageous wow thanks, not sure if I fit that mold but thanks. The rape was a piece of a huge section of my life that if I did not talk about it I was going to go insane, not kidding. I had finally found the love that I never thought would come, well he found me. Orlando was my absolute, complete, my all. He was a captain in the AirForce. I was in the hospital for a pretty bad car accident, which led to a situation even worse when was given medication I was allergic. This lead to both lungs collapsing, liver doubling, eye lids attaching to the eye ball, spinal collumn shifting. After a surgery where I was not given any pain meds & was completely awake during the surgery. I saw the scalpel slice my cornea then the doctor used tweezers to pull the cut cornea off my eye, did the same to the other then left. I was put back in a room where I remember looking down seeing myself with tubes going in & coming out everywhere. As I leaned back it was like a window that I was looking down at myself. Then everything was so bright, blinding but it did not blind my eyes. I could feel the warmth welcoming with this great joy. Then a man's voice said it was not my time & in a flash I was back. 6 weeks I was in that hospital fighting to be released. Later I found out that that mixup was never checked to see in my medical records because it does say about my allergies. That I had a less than 10% chance to LIVE. That the doctor after finding about my allergies put me back on the medication after he had known what it had done. After forcing the doctor my release I went home hoping to see Orlando had returned from fighting at war but he was no where. So I called this government agency to locate troops during active duty. It takes about a month, so I waited & still nothing. So after those very long waiting period I called him. Such a great kind man explained that Orlando had died. I kept hearing this screaming coming somewhere, but I was home alone, & in a flash I realized that painful scream was coming deep within me. There is so much more that I went thru. Years & years of depression that kept getting worse. So hard OMG no idea how bad all it was all happening at the same time. It is getting late, or rather early here. Maybe we can talk again.. Trace

    There’s something about this story that doesn’t feel right to me. I’ve experienced sexual abuse as a child and was raped as a young adult. I volunteer my time in counseling/mentoring sexually exploited teens and rape survivors. I’ve heard the stories told by the victims themselves and yet somehow, I don’t feel as if this guy was actually raped or if he’s just trying to turn what he ultimately felt was an unsavory encounter into a story of rape. In telling it, he’s almost dead pan and the descriptions come across as studied. As if he read about how one might react after a sexual assault. Particularly when he talks about the auditorium filled with 5000 other students and how he felt “alone”and spoke of “tunnel vision” and his “throat clenching”. It didn’t come off as genuine, but instead rather cliché. When he talks about only having had five previous encounters with guys and then mentions with an air of disgust that this incident took place in a bathroom, you can almost see a very slight smirk cross his face when he begins telling it and then again at the very end. I watched a couple times just to see if I was merely projecting, but there’s no emotion in his eyes. No feeling conveyed, nor projected. There’s almost a disconnect to the recanting of the story itself as if told by someone who didn’t actually experience it. It seems strange that he seemed more mortified by where it happened rather then it happening at all. In all my experiences I’ve never heard someone speak in the way of location as a matter of importance. I also question his saying that “it all ended” when he read the letter in the Dean’s office. Trauma Isn’t something that suddenly disappears overnight. Over time you learn ways to deal with it and move beyond it, but it’s always there and forever will remain a part of you. It doesn’t just suddenly end. I know of people who have tried to turn sexual encounters into stories of sexual assault and I know of people who have flat out lied. I’m not saying that this guy is completely falsifying the incident, I’m just finding it hard to believe that he’s been entirely truthful.

Perhaps maybe with some slight reservation, but nonetheless willingly. The other guy wasn’t behind him shoving him in. Apparently he was already in the stall and non-threateningly motioned him over. He was bothered that it happened in a public bathroom, but gives absolutely no indication of any of it being forced.

So I was alone, waiting for my teacher when this same man showed up with a blade and got really close to me and said “I will kill you…don’t think you’re better than me” he grabbed my shoulder as to pull me close to him but thankfully he stop and left when when we heard the teacher approaching. I was scare that I couldn’t concentrate. This was in 1994 before cellphones so I couldn’t just call someone or Uber. I had to walk to the metro by myself (I didn’t tell anyone what had happened) scared but also vigilant in case he popped up. Needless to say I did not return the next day and transferred to a different school. What’s crazy is that I have never told anyone…this is the first time I’m “saying” it.

This is exactly why so many men that are victims of sexual abuse remain silent and suffer terribly, and why it is so easy for the perpetrators to get away with it. And by the way it is very common for a victim to have forced physical arousal by an abuser which is why it is so emotionally damaging. Some victims fight back, some flee and some freeze. All are common reactions. The abusers know how to take advantage of their victims psychologically. Please quit being such hateful people, educate yourselves and learn some compassion.

What a creep, and then he gets the other guy expelled and dares to make a video looking for sympathy. Sick. ..and frankly, it's kind of weird that you are honored to hear this absurd claim of being a victim. When I was a college freshman, if I walked into the bathroom to urinate and two dudes were publicly having sex, I would have been intimidated to use the bathroom and probably used a cup in my dorm room. A little older now, I would not be intimidated but tell them to get them done with it in a minute or two or else report them. Men that use Public bathrooms for sex do not deserve sympathy and one claiming the other raped him when he indeed admits he followed the other dude into the stall is sickening. Just as sickening is to be happy he had his bathroom SEX PARTNER expelled is beyond vile. These dudes should feel lucky that in today's world they can go to their rooms and get off with who they please. Several decades ago, the dorms were not coed and men and women could not have sex and men with men would have incited violence. Thankfully the world has changed yet that doesn't mean using a public bathroom for sex with another dude is okay just because it is an all-male space. Bathrooms for men are not bathrooms designed for the guys to be getting off with one another.

    Survived what? Andrew followed a dude into a toilet stall and got off with him and then had the other guy expelled. Andrew is as guilty of violating college sex rules as the other guys because both of these dudes were using a public bathroom on campus where other dudes come into to in order to actually use the bathroom for what it was meant for, not ejaculation with another student. Andrew is pathetic and he should not be made into a hero for having sex in the stall and then regretting it and hatefully just blaming the other dude.

    I have been violated a few times but never thought much of it. I usually feel comfortable but I always felt safe because there were people around me. One time a friend of mine got really and he kept making advances on me and I kept pushing him off. That was a bizzare and scary night and that was at my dads house. I locked myself in the room and my friend now ex friend left the same night. I never thought of the situations I was in as me being sexually assaulted even when guys would straight dry hump me at school, grab my ass at the club, or a stranger straight hugging me at the bus verbalizing that they can just kidnap me. I am safe. That was some rando at the beach that I have never been back to. I honestly think there are a lot of men gay and straight that have been violated and don’t recognize that they have been. I think it’s because every time we hear about sexual assault, and rape it’s always portrayed as the victim being a woman and the violator as the man. So growing up I never had meaning to describe what had happened to me. I think more videos like this are needed to show that regardless of your gender, sex, and sexual orientation that you can be a victim of sexual assault and rape.

    Why don't we just college students like they were ten year olds? This story should not have been reported in my opinion. Andrew walked into the stall. The other guy asked him for sex once, Andrew said he no he was tired, and then he went into the stall and had sex. We have to raise men in America. A man that cannot protect his own body by saying no twice or leaving the bathroom or screaming or pushing is a child. Any of the above would probably have done the trick. School authorities are making a cottage industry costing students a fortune by playing nanny. Sexual assault should be reported to the police. This was not sexual assault.

    @@christopherwinstanley1348 Hi Christopher, I believe the ages of consent in the U.S varies from 17 or 18 depending on the state and I am relatively certain it is never age 21. For drinking alcohol, the legal drinking age is 21 in all states as of 1984. I do tend to agree with you that older people should behave better around younger people but with that said, it's difficult to mandate "better" by law. Some 18 year olds are far more mature than other 30 year olds. Hence, I believe the legal age of consent means and should be governed by actions and nothing more. Being rude, is not illegal. Attempting or asking for sex is not illegal. If one is in your home doing so, they must leave if told to. In schools and workplaces, harassment policies are everywhere. If a guy is chatting too much to a woman at a bar and she wants to be left alone, she can walk away, call the bartender, or call the police if followed. There is simply no reason to treat adults as if they don't have agency. In life, there will always be those that are not capable of protecting themselves well. For example, some sixty-year-old people don't get covid vaccines and wind up dying. Adults, legally defined as 18 or over, may not always protect themselves properly and it's sad when they suffer. I believe, however, treating them as incapable of making a decision about sex is worse for the and worse for society. Instead we should be clear as a recommendation, if you are not absolutely sure you can make decisions about sex including saying no, do not put yourself in adult situations wherein others can navigate this part of life. Casual sex is a relatively modern thing for the masses. No one ever said it would be easy. It's not for everyone and it's certainly not for those that are not emotionally mature enough to socialize in sexually-charged environments like today's college dorms. Dorms weren't always like that. Women's libers fought for the right to get rid of chaperones that the schools would provide at night to watch over young female student's in the name of keeping them safe. Yes, it was the opposite of today in the late 1950s and early 60s. Women told college administrators, we have the right to go out at night and risk getting raped if we want to without males hired by the school to protect us. Their grandchildren have gone the other way and want administrators involved in everything. I was a college student in the 70s and by that time, it was unthinkable to involve the school's administrators in any part of our private lives. In fact, I had never heard of such a thing and was not aware of how hard the woman from the generation before my own had fought to be left alone by school administrators.

    @@Michael-te7fj Thank you for your reply, and I apologise for getting wrong the age of concent being 18 in the USA 🇺🇸 different from state to state on alcohol restrictions. Its 18 here in Britain 🇬🇧 and to consume and purchase alcohol. Previously, it was 21 for same sex relationships and was changed to 18 decades ago. There is more than the age of concent, and I'm assuming the place this happened was a communal facility that may have been used for solicitation previously. There is the gay scene, and my time was 80s and 90s and attitudes are different than today. Its more important for the aims for equality among LGBTQ. I recall before the LGBTQ emerged here in my country it was a civil rights pressure group, and the gay switchboard that was more charitable. Many individual organisations began to emerge within that time period, FLAG (family of Lesbian and Gay) Icebreakers (still run today), its a social support group for those coming out. MCC (metropolitan of Community Churches) Healthy Gay Manchester (I was volunteering at the time disturbances of safe sex pack, and HIV AIDS STD awareness), was needed at that time. It later became the Gay Foundation before LGBTQ emerged. Those decades that you mentioned, people where closeted, and as everything was stereotyped at one time its hung around gay people, and there isn't an effective way to contain that behaviour otherwise explain the danger. The topic discussed in this video is a concern for LGBTQ people. I'm trying to explain the best I can. The young people I've known don't have any association with that period of time, it don't connect with them, but why should it. I think anyone will find the older generations need to take on younger people's views and not be cynical. All the difference between the age difference is, younger people spend more time taking in information because they are still building themselves and gay can be introspective. Older generations have that experience and can reflect. Many people I've known from that time have gone. I know the 70s and 80s was explosive and it was with censorship laws that the imaging was "in you face" . My first visit to a gay bar was tame 🤣🤣 my second visit wasn't!!! All I can remember was this horse saddle at the bar... and yes !! Imagine the rest. It was fun and outrageous!! What I can remember in that group it was safe to "dare" but some always want to do something that's going to put them in danger. And its that area that is still a concern today. Thanks for your time.

    Lila, women fought or the right to get raped in the early 1960s. They didn't want people like you keeping them safe. The man;s crotch was touched and he freaked out. He needs psychological help to empower himself. He is pathetic. He actually blames another guy for coming onto him. It's not the job of one who wants sex to be nice or read minds. The one who wants the sex need only understand the word No. The rest is your generation being puritanical sickos who are bored because you don't know what things like fighting a war are and you don't have any idea what oppression truly is as you parents have treated you like babies and did not let you grow up. This young man could have said No. He could have said F--k off. He could have run. He could have called out for someone to help. He could have taken out his fist. A man must learn to protect his body if he is going to freak out so easily. A man must learn to fight if he's going to be such a feckless human being. I would add to that, this young man is a heartless jerk for having the other guy expelled.

    Tina: Give me a break. This freeze thing is made up nonsense. Perhaps one freezes when they are pinned down and feel their life is endanger. How are we going to send our young men to war if God forbid we are attacked? This young man is not fit to be away from home. It's not the guy who grabbed his crotch that is most problematic. It's Andrew. How do parents raise a boy who cannot say no once another man has grabbed toward his penis? This is as basic as tying one's shoelace. I don't think Andrew should be defended. I think he is right questioning his own masculinity as he did not act like a man--any kind of man. He acted like a child. I'm not saying guys should go around grabbing other guys crotches. That said, it's not the end of the world and resident assistant could have handled the entire matter. The grabber was probably drunk and probably Andrew not being able to say, "leave me alone" or "get the f out of here," was not clear. That said, once Andrew went into the stall with him, he became a willing partner. Andrew and the expelled young man were in a bathroom stall having sexual relations. Surely this is in the current handbook as improper sex. If another student had walked into the bathroom, that student would be innocent and perhaps feel humiliated. In normal times, none of this would be a big deal and the boys having sex in a bathroom stall would merely be met with shame as in the other students later saying this was not cool for the guys to be doing this in the bathroom. Given that these are not normal times, Andrew should have been thrown out of Brown for creating a hostile sexually intimidating atmosphere.

Most accusations of rape are true and most rapes are never reported. Not all rapes happen the same way. Different people react differently. If you did not want it, it is rape. Being rejected does not excuse escalating the situation by grabbing the person’s genitals and doing sexual acts onto this person who already said no. It doesn’t matter after Andrew mentally froze when his genitals were grabbed that in his shocked state that he complied when the assailant motioned him into the stall. Andrew already said no.
