( local Battalion/Page 3 March 10, 1982 le Rape prevention difficult, psychology panelist says by Laura Williams Battalion Staff Rape prevention is difficult because rapists’ motives and the types of victims they choose vary greatly, a Texas A&M psychology professor said Tuesday night. Dr. Charlene Muehlenhard spoke at a five- member panel discussion en titled RAPE, sponsored by the Department of Student of Affairs. “The majority of the rap ists want to control their vic tims physically and some cases, sexually,” she said. “They are somehow trying to fulfill a fantasy they have or to eliminate an insecurity they have. “The angle is not sex at all, but rather control of the vic tim. He wants to debase her. Most rapists report that they receive no sexual gratification from the event.” Muehlenhard said fifty percent of the rapists know their victims, which creates problems with prosecution. “The better the woman knows the man, the less likely she is to report the rape,” she said. “This is usually the case because the woman fears that her husband would accuse her of leading the man on or of being unfaithful.” Assistant District Attorney Carolyn Ruffino, another member of the panel, said that such cases are difficult be cause it is hard to convince a jury the woman did not con sent to having sex. Daneen Milam, an educa tional psychology doctoral student who has done exten sive work with rape victims, addressed the problems of the victim who decides to prose cute. “It is very important that the woman go immediately to a hospital, without bathing or changing her clothes,” she said. “The woman must de cide almost immediately whether or not she will prose cute. It takes a lot of courage because she is very angry and very ashamed.” Obituaries Dr. Edgar D. McMurray, 72, died Sunday in a local hospital. McMurray, former associate professor and assistant dean of the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine, retired in 1974.
