This article talked about men who were sexually assaulted at Brown University. 3 students, known as Andrew, Eric, and Brenton explained how they were sexually assaulted and even raped in some cases, whether it was in a bathroom stall or in their own dorm room. Andrew and Eric are homosexual, but Brenton's orientation was never stated. All of the students listed filed complaints to their assailants, and the most punishment they would get is expulsion, but for the most part the assailants would only be suspended up to a semester. The boys repeatedly stated how their cases were not taken seriously, and they felt that their problems were just pushed aside. Experts believe gay men are targeted more for assault due to the stigma around homosexuality and men being sexually assaulted. Fortunately all 3 of these students were able to seek counseling and help them through their trauma.

Here is a similar article describing the same problem.

One study shows that rape victims are 13 times more likely to commit suicide than non-rape victims. Jennifer Marsh, the vice president of RAINN, has stated that both men and women who survive sexual assaults have the same psychological impacts. However, men choose more lethal means of suicide.

Victims of sexual violence experience outcomes from their assaults.  Studies show that victims of sexual violence are 13 times more likely to commit suicide than someone who hasn't experienced sexual violence.  Also, studies show that one in five women have been the victim of sexual violence in their lifetimes and about 50% of transgenders have experienced sexual violence during their lifetimes.  According to the CDC, out of 5,000 college students, one in twenty-five men said they have been the victim of sexual violence.  Moreover, the CDC found that 40% of gay men, 47% of bisexual men, and 21% of heterosexual men have experienced sexual violence other than rape at some point in their lifetimes.

The article brings up a couple issues, such as the stigma on male victims and the lack of support for these victims. Andrew told author of the article Emily Kasse that a possibility as to why their case wasn't taken seriously was because some viewed the rape/assault as a punishment for being queer. These students were open about their sexuality, so some see people like Andrew or Eric were asking for it, or didn't even consider it assault because they like that stuff. The other glaring problem is that men aren't supposed to be victims, they don't talk about their problems and they man up. Because of that stigma, men are more likely not to report these crimes. 1 in 5 women are assaulted or raped according to certain studies, however the statistics for men aren't as precise. One study that asked 5,000 college students if they have ever been sexually assaulted, 1 in 25 answered yes. The 1in6 organization says 1 in 6 are assaulted before they even reach 18.
