Oy. I read the "Here's the tampon you asked for" link, and boy howdy, is it dated already! It still has a lot of good advice, but should come tagged with a content warning about heavy levels of sympathy for date-rapists. This paragraph really jumped out at me:
Sgt. Richard Cournoyer, a Connecticut state trooper, has investigated a dozen sexual assault cases in the last few years involving University of Connecticut students. "These aren't people jumping out of the bushes," he says. “For the most part, they're boys who had too much to drink and have done something stupid. When we show up to question them, you can see the terror in their eyes."
Riiight. What about the ongoing terror in the eyes of their victims? That attitude right there is what leads to judges saying shit like, "He's got a lot of potential, and it would be a shame to see that ruined," or Daddy saying "Why should he lose his entire future over ten minutes of action?"
That aside, it does provide a good bit of useful information about approaches to take if you see something going down, and is a decent starting point.
