REPORTS OF SEXUAL ASSAULT AT HOUSTON CAMPUSES

Police were recently searching for a man accused of sexually assaulting a woman in the bathroom at the Houston Baptist University campus. Two Houston campuses recently ranked among those with the highest violent crime rates in the state. Many students never hear about the true crime statistics at a campus.

Federal law requires universities to publish an annual security report including information about sexual assaults and abuse. Unfortunately, not all of the crimes are reported correctly, and many survivors never come forward for fear of retaliation. 

Many reports of sexual assault on college campuses go uninvestigated. Even when investigated, many perpetrators are not held accountable.

COLLEGE SEXUAL ASSAULT STATISTICS

According to the Office on Women’s Health (OASH), 1 in 5 women experiences sexual assault in college. Female students are most at risk during the “first few months of their first and second semesters in college.”

As noted by RAINN (Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network), sexual violence is extremely prevalent on college campuses with 13% of all graduate and undergraduate students experiencing rape or sexual assault through force, violence, or incapacitation. 

Female college students between the ages of 18-24 are 3x more likely to experience sexual violence, despite only 20% of female student victims in this age group reporting the crime to law enforcement.

Mr.Karam took care of me from the second we hung up on our first phone call. They provided me with the best medical care and the result of our case was amazing. He did not have to take my case but he chose to and the outcome was amazing. I’m still in shock considering what my case was, but would recommend their Firm 10,000 times again. Thank you so much to Jacob Karam and his office!

When I first got in my car accident, I initially didn’t even consider a lawyer, but due to a referral I am so glad I did. I suffered significant injuries requiring surgery. Originally the hospital just slapped a sling on my broken clavicle and told me not to move it for 3 weeks while we wait for surgery. Jacob was able to get me into have surgery 4 days later. He handled everything. From my surgery to my PT. I never saw a single bill. His staff was friendly, professional and made it a point to check up on me. At a time where my life was turned upside down, it was nice to know someone else was in my corner, and my only job was to heal. 6 months later I am still healing but my case has already been settled and I got waaaayyyy more than I ever thought back in my pocket. It’s clear that Jacob and his team truly does care about the recovery and results of their clients and not just about collecting their fee. I am glad I went with Jacob and would recommend him to anyone. Calling his team was the best decision I could have made.
