...From previous experience, she knows that the evening van service will tell her to wait for the next shuttle. When weighing her options, she cannot just walk home, but among her choices is an offer from a male who says she can wait for the shuttle in his room. The offer is probably innocent, and the woman probably gets on the next shuttle as planned. However, we have been made aware of many situations in which the events that follow are far from harmless. This woman is forced to make a decision she would have never considered if she?...
