Abstract: 

The facts of several recent cases involving students suggest that revisions to student codes and legislative policy initiatives are behind the curve. This article serves to highlight the red flags and discuss some of the elements of sex offending among young adults in college settings within the context of the 2013 Vanderbilt University rape case. A sidebar on how children make sense of male violence against women follows the article.
