US Merchant Marine Academy students who say they were victims of sexual assault remain reluctant to report their alleged assailants in ways that would prompt investigations, a new report from the academy shows
Between July of 2019 and December 2022, 26 students alleged they had been sexually assaulted on or near campus or at sea. Most of those students — around 80% — made so-called “restricted” reports, meaning they spoke confidentially to staff and students who worked as victim advocates. Making a restricted report allows the student to seek medical treatment and counseling without triggering an investigation.
Two students who were identified by their alleged victims were investigated by the academy and disenrolled. So far this school year — between July and December — five students have already reported sexual assaults, compared to six during the entire 2021-2022 school year. The academy’s report also included data about reports of other sexual misconduct, which previously had not been quantified.
