Geoghan alone gathered over 130 accusations in his thirty-year career before finally being defrocked in 1998, and yet was only charged and convicted on one single count of indecent assault and battery of a ten-year-old boy. Pilger, after admitting to assaulting three boys, only received probation.

Let us place the cost issue into perspective: the National Institute of Justice estimates that incidents of sexual assault cost at least $127 billion every year, approximately $508 a citizen. Even if that figure was not so astronomical, we as a society cannot afford sexual assault. Neither can Harvard. Phones with direct lines to Harvard’s Shuttle Service should be installed outside all libraries, Houses and major buildings...
