The lecture was designed to teach students how to prevent situations in which sexual assault could take place.
Domitrz made it very clear that friends of students who drink alcohol should try to keep them from making decisions they ordinarily would not make.
"You wouldn't let someone drive drunk, so you shouldn't let someone go home with someone drunk," said Domitrz.
It is important to know that even if someone takes every measure they can to keep from becoming sexually assaulted, it can still happen.
"You could ask, you could set the boundaries, you could do everything right and you could still be raped," said Domitrz.
Sexual assault is the fault of the perpetrator, not the victim.
Students seemed to enjoy the lecture immensely. Laughter was heard throughout the theater when Domitrz made jokes and students also concentrated on him when he made serious points. Students learned that asking before acting could be very beneficial while dating.
"In the end the entire crowd thought, 'yeah that's the perfect way'," said Rich Deecken, sophomore of Trumbull,C.T.
The Center for Women and Families, located in Bridgeport, promoted their services at the lecture. Any victims of sexual assault can contact the center 24 hours a day at (888) 999-5545. Counseling services are also available on campus.
Please do not be afraid to ask, it can only benefit you, without consent you will get in trouble.
