			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>ATTORNEY GENERAL ERIC HOLDER ANNOUNCES REVISIONS TO THE UNIFORM CRIME REPORT’S  DEFINITION OF RAPE</p>
<p>Data Reported on Rape Will Better Reflect State  Criminal Codes, Victim Experiences</p>
<p><st1:st1:state w:st="on"><st1:st1:place w:st="on">WASHINGTON</st1:st1:place></st1:st1:state> –  Attorney General Eric Holder today announced revisions to the Uniform Crime  Report’s (UCR) definition of rape, which will lead to a more comprehensive  statistical reporting of rape nationwide. The new definition is more inclusive,  better reflects state criminal codes and focuses on the various forms of sexual  penetration understood to be rape. The new definition of rape is: “The  penetration, no matter how slight, of the vagina or anus with any body part or  object, or oral penetration by a sex organ of another person, without the  consent of the victim.”  The definition is used by the FBI to collect  information from local law enforcement agencies about reported  rapes.</p>
<p>“Rape is a devastating crime and we can’t solve it unless we know  the full extent of it,” said Vice President Biden, a leader in the effort to end  violence against women for over 20 years and author of the landmark Violence  Against Women Act. “This long-awaited change to the definition of rape is a  victory for women and men across the country whose suffering has gone  unaccounted for over 80 years.”</p>
<p>“These long overdue updates to the  definition of rape will help ensure justice for those whose lives have been  devastated by sexual violence and reflect the Department of Justice’s commitment  to standing with rape victims,” Attorney General Holder said. “This new, more  inclusive definition will provide us with a more accurate understanding of the  scope and volume of these crimes.”</p>
<p>“The FBI’s Criminal Justice  Information Services (CJIS) Advisory Policy Board recently recommended the  adoption of a revised definition of rape within the Summary Reporting System of  the Uniform Crime Reporting Program,” said David Cuthbertson, FBI Assistant  Director, CJIS Division. “This definitional change was recently approved by FBI  Director Robert S. Mueller. This change will give law enforcement the ability to  report more complete rape offense data, as the new definition reflects the vast  majority of state rape statutes. As we implement this change, the FBI is  confident that the number of victims of this heinous crime will be more  accurately reflected in national crime statistics.”</p>
<p>The revised  definition includes any gender of victim or perpetrator, and includes instances  in which the victim is incapable of giving consent because of temporary or  permanent mental or physical incapacity, including due to the influence of drugs  or alcohol or because of age. The ability of the victim to give consent must be  determined in accordance with state statute. Physical resistance from the victim  is not required to demonstrate lack of consent. The new definition does not  change federal or state criminal codes or impact charging and prosecution on the  local level.</p>
<p>“The revised definition of rape sends an important message  to the broad range of rape victims that they are supported and to perpetrators  that they will be held accountable,” said Justice Department Director of the  Office on Violence Against Women Susan B. Carbon. “We are grateful for the  dedicated work of all those involved in making and implementing the changes that  reflect more accurately the devastating crime of rape.”</p>
<p>The longstanding,  narrow definition of forcible rape, first established in 1927, is “the carnal  knowledge of a female, forcibly and against her will.” It thus included only  forcible male penile penetration of a female vagina and excluded oral and anal  penetration; rape of males; penetration of the vagina and anus with an object or  body part other than the penis; rape of females by females; and, non-forcible  rape.</p>
<p>Police departments submit data on reported crimes and arrests to  the UCR. The UCR data are reported nationally and used to measure and understand  crime trends. In addition, the UCR program will also collect data based on the  historical definition of rape, enabling law enforcement to track consistent  trend data until the statistical differences between the old and new definitions  are more fully understood.</p>
<p>The revised definition of rape is within FBI’s  UCR Summary Reporting System&lt;<a target="_blank" href="http://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/ucr/frequently-asked-questions/faqs">http://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/ucr/frequently-asked-questions/faqs</a>&gt;  Program. The new definition is supported by leading law enforcement agencies and  advocates and reflects the work of the FBI’s CJIS Advisory Policy  Board.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Details have been emerging about <em>Aliahna Lemmon&#8217;s</em> disapperance from her home, a trailer park in Fort Wayne Indiana. The trailer park had become a massive collection of sex offenders, with almost half of the homes listed  in the park included at least one name on the <strong>Indiana Sex Offender Registry</strong> database.</p>
<p>These types of intense concentrations  of sex offenders living in such close proximity are not all that uncommon. The growing concern and laws restricting where sex offenders can live often force these types of locations to crop up.  </p>
<p> Fourteen of the current residents of the park are registered sex offenders and there are six more within a two mile radius of the parks location. A neighbor and family friend was eventually arrested for the murder of Aliahna who was not on the <em>sex offender registry. </em>Her body was later found dismembered.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>News broke over the weekend of a decades long sexual abuse story centering around former <strong>Penn State Football</strong> assistant coach <em>Jerry Sandusky.  </em>Sandusky who worked under legendary coach <em>Joe Paterno</em>, who just this year won his 409th career football game as head coach in Division I football. </p>
<p>The recent allegations, who Paterno admits he knew about 12 years ago will certainly leave a huge tarish on the legacy of a man who has been known for integrity and longevity for much of his life.</p>
<p>Authorities have laid out 40 counts of abuse, and 21 of them felony counts against Sandusky who is alledged to have sexual relations with at least eight boys over a fifteen year period starting in 1994. Sandusky resigned as coach at PSU 12 years ago after rumors first came to light in the Penn State inner circle.  </p>
<p>A grad assistant who was working in the Lash football building heard noises coming from a shower room and alledges that he witnessed Sandusky performing anal sodomy on a boy who he believes was around 10 years old at the time. He reported the incident to Joe Paterno the following day, who then met with his boss, Penn State Athletic Director <em>Tim Curley</em> to report what the grad assistant had told him. The Assistant was also called in to meet with the Athletic director and<em> Senior Vice Prcsident at the school Gary Shultz</em>.</p>
<p>Charges of purgery have also been brought against Tim Curley and Gary Shultz for lying to a grand jury and failing to properly report the incidents. Both have posted bail.</p>
<p>The story is still unfolding and more details are sure to emerge. Its unclear if coach Paterno will be forced to resign amid the scandal. He has been cleared of any legal issues, but the moral outrage and lack of follow up for a man who has been an emblem of College football for nearly six decades still remain. Perhaps even longer than the legend of his accomplishments on the field.</p>
