“How Silly It Would Be”: Columbia Student Writes on Why She Did Not Report Her Own Gang Rape To Protect Them

Columbia PhD candidate, Anna Krauthamer, has caused a stir over her column in the far-left Nation on “Why I Didn’t Report My Rape.” The reason? Krauthamer is a prison abolitionist and wanted to protect her rapists, saying it would be “silly and strange” for her to subject these rapists to the carceral state. Instead, she allegedly allowed multiple rapists to potentially rape other women.

In her column, Krauthamer alleged that she was gang raped in a Las Vegas hotel room for several hours. She explained that she “never did anything about it” and  “the simple answer to the question of why I never reported the rape is that I believe in the abolition of police and prisons.”

She added:

“The prospect of being a participant in other people’s incarceration is as alien to me as anything could be, to the point that I can only conceive of it in childish terms – how silly and strange it would be to have a group of people incarcerated at my expense when doing so would do nothing to fix the damage they have already so thoroughly done.”

She is for abolishing prisons and does not want to report her own rape. Disturbing.

What the farfegneugan?  So against prisons you'll allow a group of people who assaulted you to roam free to likely do the same to others?  I guess kudos for sticking to a principle unlike so many moonbats, but I can't fathom picking that hill to die on.

That must be that rape culture DU is always talking about.

Impressive. Apparently Anna sees this strictly from her POV (How very progressive). To pursue her case in court would result in her feeling silly and strange for them being incarcerated.
Doing so can't un-do the damage to her. However preventing that damage from being repeated on someone else isn't as important as her anti-police/prison campaign.
What else would be expected from a Ivy League PHD candidate...
