Not a bad thought and a well reasoned response. I work/volunteer with veterans dealing with ptsd involving exposure therapy and de-escalation.
I will say that I have gained a lot of experience dealing with trauma/assault/abuse through these programs. What is often found is that while veteran has ptsd or pts as a lot now call it, its cause is often not from the military. The military experience exacerbated issues from childhood which often had buried or repressed memories.
As for your example, one is dealing with the construct of a person with authority over a younger person, and many of the younger people may not even know right from wrong or in your case are afraid to tell anyone. Unfortunately, very common.
In all honesty, I have never dealt or heard of an individual, that:
-was older than the peer group they were associating themselves with
-knew of activities that involved alcohol and drugs to make a person unable to resist sexual advances
-get assaulted themselves
-kept going and went to a dozen or so parties over a year or more.
And through all of this no charges were ever filed, nobody had heard of it, people did not stop going to parties.
Like I said I welcome an investigation. At some point, if what she says is true, that this was all common knowledge, people at the party were willing accomplices(crime) or a willing participant in party.
