Wisconsin governor to sign sexual assault amnesty bill

According to a 2014 U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics report, about 80 percent of student rapes and sexual assaults go unreported.

Under the bill, an underage drinker can't be cited if he or she claims to be a sexual assault or human trafficking victim; is a bystander to such a crime; requests emergency assistance in connection with the crime and cooperates with responders and police; and hasn't called for help to avoid a citation.

The legislation also prohibits the UW System regents as well as any UW school from imposing underage drinking sanctions on student sexual assault victims or students who report the crime.
