This website was created to inform Parents, Students, and Alumni about the University of Virginia's ineffective response to the crime of sexual assault.  Support "ZERO TOLERANCE FOR RAPE!"

Alumnae and Undergrads: We are seeking information on the following:
1) Witnesses for a pending lawsuit that involves a UVA Alumni. If you (or someone you know) were made to have non-consensual sex with the male pictured on the homepage anytime during 2003-2006, you may be able to provide key evidence for an upcoming civil trial.
2) Survivors - Did you take your case to the Albemarle Commonwealth Attorney Rick Moore, only to be turned away? Were you upset by any of the comments made to you by the Police or Commonwealth Attorney's office? During a Take Back the Night Rally, several women shared comments about the comments made to them by these offices. We'd like to chat with these women and explore the similar way the cases have been handled.

Contact us immediately because IF YOU STAY SILENT, NOTHING WILL CHANGE. ALL comments and tips will be treated with complete anonymity. Send your e-mail to 
uvarape@cox.net. It's the right thing to do.
