Study says sex crime reports triple at U.

It’s a case of more students reporting sex crimes, not of more sex crimes actually occurring. That’s been the response of University of Maryland College Park administrators to new analysis by the U.S Department of Education saying the number of reported sex crimes on campus has tripled in the past year.

The report states that in 2004 there were 10 incidents of sexual assault reported to authorities at the university, versus 33 incidents reported the next year.
