The HCO is in a big pickle because, mixed in with real criminal activity, are
false accusations.

An investigation by the HCO becomes necessary when the alleged rapist is a BYU student. How is the BYU Admin (read HCO) to know who the alleged rapist is without some information such as a police report or a Title IX report?

While my experience may be antecdotal, it appears BYU takes a sympathetic approach on false accusation (because it does not know it is false) and a heavy handed approach against the alleged perpetrator.

In the case where a young women alleges a consensual sexual encounter was a rape, she protects her standing at the school. Meanwhile, the falsely accused young man is expelled from school and thrown to the legal system.

Do we care if someone's academic and athletic career at BYU has been shut down because they were falsely accused? Not to mention whatever civil penalties await?
