Sexual Assault Study

Video

The University of Central Florida is getting an F when it comes to its sexual assault program for students.

The results are from a study showing the university ranked 133 out of 139 colleges when looking at serious sex issues.

Researchers studied the university's Web site, called the health center and polled students via Facebook, a student networking Web site.

"We have a coordinator and assistant coordinator, four advocates,” said Christine Mouton from Victim Services. “We have a very active intern volunteer program. We provide 24/7 to a victim advocate 365 days a year.”

Orange County's Sexual Assault Program said it doesn't really see many UCF students. 
    
UCF said the reason is the majority of students are afraid to report the crime to law enforcement.
