That doesn't seem to be working (for me at least) so here's the article copied and pasted...
An incident in which three men, who were at the time UConn students but have since left the university, allegedly ejaculated onto a woman in a UConn dormitory last fall has caused a local stir and has led some to call for a change in the state's sexual assault statutes.
According to a story first reported last Friday in the Hartford Courant, Jared Skvirsky, 20, of Brookline, Mass., Martin Piscottano, 19, of Somers and Zak Brohinsky, 19, of Simsbury, were charged with disorderly conduct and public indecency in connection to a Sept. 24 incident. UConn Police Maj. Ronald Blicher told The Daily Campus Friday that the incident occurred on Sept. 24, and that the woman reported the incident on Sept. 27. According to arrest warrant affidavits cited in the Courant story, Skvirsky brought the woman back to his dorm room in Watson Hall after meeting her at a party at the Carriage House Apartments complex. The two started kissing, but the woman stopped and decided to stay in the room on a futon because she did not feel safe walking home by herself, according to the Courant story. According to the affidavit cited in the Courant story, both had been drinking but neither was drunk.
According to an affidavit cited in the Courant story, Brohinsky and Piscottano returned to the room a short time later and tried to wake the woman up, but could not. The three men then proceeded - according to an affidavit cited in the Courant story - to watch pornography on a computer and take turns ejaculating onto the woman. The affidavit cited by the Courant stated that when she woke up the next day, she felt something and initially thought she drooled on herself. The woman asked Skvirsky what was on her face, and he claimed he didn't know, according to the affidavit cited in the Courant story. However, the next day Skvirsky sent an instant message to the woman telling her that she had been ejaculated on and that the men had been "really drunk," according to the affidavit cited in the Courant story. Brohinsky and Piscottano got together and Piscottano wrote a story they all planned on memorizing in case the woman went to the police and they were questioned, and e-mailed the story to the woman hoping that she would believe it and not come forward to the police, according to an affidavit cited in the Courant story. Blicher told The Daily Campus that Skvirsky and Piscottano were arrested on Nov. 12 and Brohinksy, who is the son of University Communications director Scott Brohinky, was arrested on Nov. 18. Scott Brohinsky was out of the University Communications office Friday afternoon, and thus was unavailable for comment. He had declined comment in the Courant story.
Blicher told The Daily Campus that, in consultation with the state's attorney's office, UConn Police decided to persue disorderly conduct charges but not sexual assault charges.
" … Investigators, in the normal course of business, consulted with the state's attorney's office - specifically pertaining to identification of charges that would apply," Blicher said. "Sexual assault, and specifically the definition of sexual contact, was determined not to apply in this case."
According to the Courant story, the men could not be charged with sexual assault because they did not physically touch her.
"It is demeaning and extremely embarrassing and every bit as violating as a sexual assault. It ought to be treated as a sexual assault case and the penalty ought to be harsh in a case like this," state Victim Advocate James Papillo said in the Courant story. "Disorderly just doesn't cut it. This is in a different league altogether. "
According to the Courant story, Chief State's Attorney Christopher Morano said he would persue changes in the law and co-chairman of the state judiciary committee Rep. Michael Lawlor (D-East Haven) said he would consider them.
Vice President of Student Affairs John Saddlemire told The Daily Campus by e-mail Friday he couldn't comment on behalf of the university, but said he personally would support a change in the law.
"I am very concerned that this was not considered an assault by the courts," Saddlemire said. "I am also very concerned about the extreme degree to which the victim's health was put at risk."
Saddlemire confirmed that the three are no longer students at the university. He also said he did not "feel that the [university] Code of Conduct has any such loopholes."
