Aaron Graves, Duke’s associate vice president for campus safety and security, said the campus officer did nothing wrong as he “documented what took place” in the hours after the rape was reported, including “what he felt or perceived he heard” from Durham police.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I have to wonder if any of these people ever played Telephone. For those not familiar with this game, the first person whispers something in the next person’s ear and then that person whispers what they heard to the next person and so on until the last person tells everyone the message.<\/p>\n
