- Go to Regarding PoeticDewdrop's Post on Date Rape
I've been on the other end of the escort deal....
My friend and I used to run security at many parties and raves. We were well known to not "Take any bull".
One night, I caught a guy behind a curtained off area of a rave, forcing himself on a girl.
I pulled him off of her and faced him down, square. As he went to attack me-my buddy, who's 6'2" and 260lbs. grabs the guy from behind. Picks him up and literally carries him outside. There was some 'bloody' scenes outside. and I called the local PD. He was arrested for attempted rape, and attempted Assault on an Officer (Me)

I remember that while I was living on campus
there was a rape scare. A guy was knocking women down (and in one case, unconscious) and tearing at their clothing, but he would get scared off fairly easily. Mind that this was not a "date rape" situation. When the authorities caught the guy, he was charged with assault and battery, not attempted rape.
My step-roomie started a fashion of wearing tights and leotard as underwear on the theory that we could regain consciousness, flee, fight, call for help or any combination of the above in the time it would take for anyone to get us out of the tight-fitting clothing. By the time the guy had assaulted his third victim, we organized an escort service for girls that were out late in the evenings for whatever reason. I, personally, found the male escorts' attentions to be more of a problem than fear of an unknown assailant.
