Given this case as an example, how could the University have prevented this abuse from happening? Yes, the investigation is going to change how abuse gets reported--but that does not prevent the abuse. Frankly, I think there's little the University can do about something it doesn't know about, but if you can detail a specific way it could have prevented the abuse, then please share it. 

It's extremely difficult to help the victim of a crime unless the victim is willing to report it--which the woman finally did. That's not "blaming the woman"--it's just the way our system works.
