rape

Robert A. Williams, the convict of the rape and torture of a former student of the Graduate School of Journalism was sentenced to life in prison Thursday.

When a student was raped in '86, we tried to speak out at a vigil, but our voices were inarticulate. Since then, several significant steps have been taken to combat sexual abuse here—increased security guards at the gates, much more campus housing, and the indispensable expertise from agencies such as Barnard’s Rape Crisis Center.

The man charged with the rape and torture of a Columbia Graduate School of Journalism student has been declared mentally fit to stand trial, the New York Times reported.
