I would like to say that sexual assaults are a substantially real catastrophe that occurs all over the country with 35% of cases going unreported. According to the FBI, 8% of sexual assault cases were found to be faulty. ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_accusation_of_rape) With that being said, take a glance at the numbers, eight out of 100 men who are accused of sexual assault did, in fact, not commit the accusation that was presented in front of them.

In a world of he said-she said ordeals where more often than not "she said" is found to be the "truth." I stand alone a young man accused of sexual assault at a forward thinking, Catholic University where the odds are exceedingly slim to roll my way when my way is the true way. Life, since this news surfaced, has been quite peculiar.

Since this accusation has surfaced, I have reconsidered everything about my life, my morals and my standing as a human being. I found myself contesting myself and the values I abide by because of this situation where I am not responsible for the actions the other party proclaims I am. The cost of being falsely accused of sexual assault are sometimes unbearable. Reputation and perception of mine are two things that will never be the same. In short, the purpose of this piece was to attempt to inform and aid others who may be in the dark when it comes to this sticky situation. You are not alone; I can assure you that there is always someone feeling the same pain you
