sent" will be subject to the appropriate

Since the new code went into effect,
two cases have been tried by the Honor
Court. Although the redefined process
does give rape victims more options for
prosecuting their attackers, the UNC
system still is not perfect.
One of the two women to press Honor
Court charges, a UNC sophomore rec
reation administration major, said her
judicial experience was humiliating.
Because the Honor Court has tried so
few cases, the woman requested that

"It's been almost as hard to get over
how I was victimized by the Honor
Court than getting over how I was vic
timized by the rape itself," she said. "I
chose the Honor Court because it is
confidential, it's relatively quick, and I
thought (the court) would be a well
educated board of my peers."
Although the system is structured to
help victims, Honor Court members are
not educated enough about the trauma
of rape, she said.
"The fundamentals of the system have
really strong potential, but these people
are uneducated about rape and rape
victims," she said. "If you are going to
commit yourself to something as trau
matic as rape, you have to be fully
educated."
Honor Court members have partici
pated in training exercises and lectures
with volunteers from the Orange County
Rape Crisis Center and other agencies
to learn more about sexual assault and
rape, Cannon said.
These sessions included learning how
to establish the credibility of a witness'
testimony, what evidence is relevant
and what questions need to be asked of
victims and accused rapists, he said.
The UNC sophomore said members
of the Honor Court must undergo more
extensive training if victims are to re
ceive fair treatment.
"I was never given a fair chance
because they weren't prepared to give
me a fair chance," she said.
Although criminal court does offer a
more authoritative, official environ
ment, many student-victims shy away
from taking their case outside the Uni
versity judicial system.
Victims of date rape may not want to
be responsible for incarcerating an ac
quaintance, Cannon said. The Honor
Court can suspend or recommend the
chancellor expel students found guilty
of rape.
"Since the victim knows the prob
able outcome (for a rapist convicted in
criminal court) is a 40-year prison sen
tence, she doesn't want to be respon
sible for that," Cannon said.
Also, rape charges, particularly in
cases of date rape, are extremely diffi
cult to prove in criminal court, said Carl
Fox, Orange-Chatham district attorney.
Fox was the prosecutor in a highly pub
licized date-rape case involving former
UNC wrestler Carmen Catullo. Catullo
was acquitted of the rape charge.
"The biggest difference between date
rape and stranger-rape cases is that date
rape is sometimes consensual," said
Rebecca Wilson, sexual assault investi
gator for the Chapel Hill Police Depart
ment. "The (acquaintance) has to say,
'Yes, we had sex,' and the stranger is
going to say, 'We never had sex.'"
Staying within the University judi
cial system also keeps the accuser out of
the public eye, Fox said. In several
recent rape cases, including those in
volving William Kennedy Smith and
heavyweight boxer Mike Tyson, the
accusers, Patricia Bowman and Desiree
Washington, had their backgrounds and
behavior scrutinized by the media.
"The victim is on trial her behav
ior, what she did," Fox said. "Her be
havior is as much on trial as the
defendant's in most sexual assaults."
In Honor Court cases, records are
kept private while police and criminal
court records usually are open to the
public, Cannon said.
For those who opt to take theircase-Co
the Honor Court, the process is simitar
to filing criminal charges. ji
First the victim writes a letter" of
complaint to the Student Attorney Gen
eral, who conducts a preliminary inves
tigation. After investigators complete the ini
tial inquiry, the attorney general de
cides whether to ask the Honor Court to
bring formal charges against the ac
cused. The victim receives a counselor
from the attorney general's office, and
the accused also can elicit the aid of a
counselor or another student. '
The Honor Court holds one hearing
on the case, which consists of argu
ments from both the accuser and the
accused. Once the court reaches a ver
dict, Cannon informs both parties.
If the accused is found guilty, he or
she may file an appeal with the courtAs
in criminal court, the accuser cannot
appeal the court's decision and does not
take part in any appeal by the accused.
