http://thedartmouth.com/2014/02/12/news/author-of-online-post-identified-as-member-of-class-of-2017
The female member of the Class of 2017 targeted in the post alleges that the post’s author sexually assaulted her last fall, but that she chose not to report the assault to either Hanover Police or Safety and Security.
*
Upon hearing the initial news that the police would not prosecute the author of the post, the target of the post decided to bring the post to public attention on Feb. 4. She posted a screen shot and a description of her experience in the Class of 2017 Facebook page. “I can’t do this alone,” she said of her decision to post in the Facebook group. “We can’t have a culture where it’s okay to harass me and call me names like that. I thought I should address this to my classmates, so I did.”
*
The name-calling on Bored at Baker began in November, she said, with anonymous online posters identifying her by name and labeling her “Choates whore,” as well as commenting on her intelligence. There are currently 21 posts on the website from between November and Jan. 10 that use the phrase. All posts referencing her name or initials have been deleted. “I talked to the dean’s office because I was really depressed about it and upset and mortified that someone would be saying those hurtful things, and they told me there was nothing they could do,” she said. “I had to stay at Dick’s House because of how I was feeling.”
*
The female member of the Class of 2017 said the Jan. 10 post stood out from the others. The post advocated providing the target with alcohol and assaulting her. The student body has reacted passionately to the Bored at Baker post. Panhellenic Council, along with the presidents of each of the eight sororities that it represents, and the Interfraternity Council sent campus-wide emails condemning the post. “As women on campus, we are only as protected and safe as the least safe member on campus,” Panhellenic Council president Eliana Piper said.

he rapes her, then continues to taunt, mock, humiliate and insult her. and there is little or nothing they can do at the university? really? i think not. decide what is important. not like the evidence is not there to see the harassment.
and these are parents PAYING a lot fo money to send their daughters to these places that do little or nothing for their protection and safety.

Yes, she certainly deserves that, but to be honest, I'm more of a fighter than a nurturer,
