Sex Scandal Involving 11 Rocks Virginia Campus

Eleven UVA students are recommended for expulsion by the UVA Board of Visitors following the April 3rd assault of a 19 year-old woman from Richmond. The article reports that the victim of the assault has been institutionalized as a result. Concerns are raised over how the students, the "sons of some leading families," may have attempted to use "powerful political connections" to ameliorate their punishment.
