One of the most striking details in many of the rape accusations coming from college students is the alleged brutality of the attacks. Yet when a university is accused of failing to adequately respond to the allegation, one piece of evidence often seems to be missing: The blood evidence that could easily prove an attack occurred.

In multiple cases that received national attention, college women claimed they were brutally sexually assaulted, woke up in pools of blood and were ignored by their schools. It strains credulity to believe that a college or university could dismiss an accusation after being presented bloody sheets or a bloody dress.
