Dartmouth "rape guide" author identified

“She might be reluctant,” read a Jan. 10 post on Bored at Baker, outlining the steps one should take to rape a female member of the Class of 2017, who requested anonymity based on the personal nature of these online attacks. “Just tell her to relax.” The student targeted in the post, which identified her name and residential cluster, was in the library when she read it. Later that day, while in class, she broke down.

“It just really hit me,” she said. “I started crying and needed to leave.” After emailing her dean, Natalie Hoyt, Safety and Security escorted her from class to the dean’s office, at which point the post was reported to Safety and Security and to Hanover Police.

For the next three nights, the student slept in a secret room reserved by the housing office for emergencies. She changed residence halls shortly thereafter.

The author of the Jan. 10 Bored at Baker post, a male member of the Class of 2017, is no longer on campus. He will return to appear before the Committee of Standards for violating the Standards of Conduct.
