Stillwater child sexual assault hard to investigate, harder to prosecute

Stetson P ay n e News Ed i to r

A house on Ninth Avenue has a backyard play set that 4-year-olds dream about and rooms with shelves full of toys and books to read. To the unwary eye, it’s like any other manicured house in Stillwater.

But down the hall from the playroom in the Saville Center for Child Advocacy is a smaller room with a pale-faced doll and a discreet, wallmounted camera to record children’s interviews.

It’s so they have to talk about the sexual abuse only once.

The Saville Center has served Payne and Logan counties since 1999 and acts as a controlled environment and central loca-

tion where investigators and advocates can come to gather information, instead of sending victims to multiple offices and locations to give several interviews. Police and the health department refer victims to the center.

Children are the perfect prey for sexual predators.

Mending the epidemic’s damage to victims is a challenge, but putting their attackers behind bars is a greater one.

Of 66 sexual assaults reported to the Stillwater Police Department in 2015, 34 involved juvenile survivors, according to police public incident reports. Only one of the juvenile cases resulted in an arrest. There were 33 reported cases each in 2013 and 2014, with four arrests in 2013 and nine in 2014.

“It’s very underreported, under documented, under treated,” said Brandi White with the Saville Center. “Everything that we do is to try to help the victims that have reported it, but there are so many other kids that aren’t

receiving services because they never tell.”

The executive director at the center for child advocacy said reports alone aren’t the sole numbers for child sexual assault, and only one in 10 report sexual assault.

With the 10 percent report rate, fewer of those cases will see the courtroom.

The Saville Center’s picturesque white house has a medical examination room, where the youngest victims of sexual assault are examined for the little, if any, physical evidence left behind.

Unless there is a sexually transmitted disease or an internal injury, cases largely depend on the word of an accuser against an alleged predator, White said.

It’s for this reason and more, unlike other types of crime that leave a trail of evidence for investigators to follow back to a suspect, child sexual assault often lacks the standard of proof for prosecutors to take the case, White said.

stetson payne/O’COLLY The Saville Center, a center for abused children in the Panye and Logan county areas, was started in 1999. The center is in a house on Ninth Avenue in Stillwater.

City Manager Norman McNickle worked as a sex crimes investigator with the Stillwater Police Department during the 1970s and 1980s. The former police chief said it’s the age of victims that can hamper an investigation.

“In some cases, the age of the child makes it very difficult, trying to get the story out of them in terms

that you can use what they say in prosecution,” McNickle said. “Imagine trying to interview a 9-year-old who’s been the victim of sexual assault and getting them to describe it in adult terms.

“A lot of times they don’t really know what it is that happened to them.”

Investigators get testimony in a controlled

environment at the Saville Center, where a forensic interview specialist spends time with a child while investigators covertly watch.

Child sexual abuse often starts with what’s known as “grooming,” and usually the perpetrator is someone a child knows, rarely a stranger. A person STORY CONTINUES ON PAGE 3

gradually build trust with a child over time, in an effort to convince the child anything they do is OK, White said. It’s after these grooming behaviors the assault occurs.

White said like adult sexual assault survivors, few children make false reports.

“Most of the research shows very few children lie about sexual abuse,” White said. “And when they do, it’s usually discovered very early on in the investigation. Kids are just not very good liars.”

Holly Chandler interviews victims at the Saville Center, and she said children often remember

the specifics of an assault.

“Most children, if they’ve experienced abuse, they’re able to give details about that incident,” Chandler said.

“What it felt like, what it looked like, what it smelled like, what it tasted like, who was there, what happened.”

For cases in Stillwater, detectives struggle to get cases to a courtroom and predators arrested. In 2015, 12 of 34 juvenile cases were classified as unfounded. Stillwater police Lt. Jeff Watts said unfounded cases are those where detectives can’t find any evidence or testimony to corroborate a report.

The head of the criminal investigations division

stetson payne/O’COLLY In 2015, 34 of 66 reported sexual assasults in Stillwater involved juvenile victims. The reports resulted in one arrest.

said child sexual assault cases are often classified as unfounded or exceptionally cleared.

“Unfortunately in kid cases, they’re more likely to meet an unfounded criteria than say an adult,” Watts said.

Watts said evidence in child sexual assault cases is sometimes limited to a report and a statement from an alleged attacker.

Watts said the department receives calls Sunday nights that are typically unfounded. Par-

ents whose children are returning from weekend visitation report possible sexual assault after talking with their child, and after an interview, it’s revealed to be an overreaction as part of a custody battle, Watts said.

Child sexual assault cases are also regularly exceptionally cleared, Watts said. The designation is used when detectives know something happened but don’t know what, Watts said. Eight cases were exceptionally cleared in 2015, where it’s possible that a crime occurred, but there is no way for it to be prosecuted, Watts said.

Several addresses and apartment complexes

appear multiple times on public incident reports for different reports of sexual assault involving adults and juveniles. Chandler said it’s not unheard of for children to be interviewed more than once for separate incidents.

“There are certain families that we’re definitely familiar with,” Chandler said. “If we know some stuff’s going on and we’ve interviewed the children multiple times, but we have no control over where children are placed or who they’re with.

“Unfortunately if it happens, they’re brought back here another time.”

Native American healthy living event continues to expand in its second year

Jordan Bishop S taf f R epo rt er

The turf of Boone Pickens Stadium is home for the Cowboys, but for some kids, it’s something they will remember for the rest of their lives.

Oklahoma State partnered with Nike’s N7 Youth Movement for the second straight year to promote health and wellness in Native American third- through eighth-grade students Thursday morning.

N7 advocates sport participation in Native American and Aboriginal populations in North America. Lana Duke, a Cowgirl soccer player and nutritional science sophomore, has organized the event both years after getting the idea from the University of Oklahoma.

“I heard about it in a newspaper and saw OU was doing one,” Duke said.

“I thought OSU needed to have an N7 event also.”

Duke talked with the athletic compliance office and organized OSU’s first event last spring. Duke said she thought it was important for OSU to host the event and give studentathletes a chance to give back to the community.

FRIDAY, APRIL 1, 2016

Jose Bouquett/O’COLLY Two N7 Youth Movement participants dance at one of the event’s stations Thursday at Boone Pickens Stadium.

Duke said not only would athletes get to hang out with kids for a day, but also the kids might remember the experience for the rest of their lives.

“Some of these kids see Boone Pickens (Stadium) on TV, and when they’re here it’s like, ‘Wow,’” Duke said.

There were multiple stations for sports such as football, soccer and jump rope spread around the stadium along with basketball in the auxiliary gym of Gallagher-Iba Arena.

Different groups of children cycled through the stations to get the full experience, and athletes from the soccer, football, track, tennis and basketball teams volunteered.

“That’s one of the hardest things to do is to get all the athletes to be here,” Duke said. “I had to individually go to each coach to make sure people signed up and stressed how important it was to be here to inspire these kids.”

Not only were there popular sports, but also more traditional stations where kids played kapucha topi, more commonly known as stickball, and traditional dances.

Dewayne Hornbuckle, from Poteau, was in charge of the stickball station. He talked about the history of the sport and the roots it had in the Native American culture with the kids who came by.

Hornbuckle said it’s im-

portant for the kids to stay active, and a good way to do that is to play a traditional game such as stickball. He formed his own age 8-17 league in Poteau, which had more than 600 participants last year.

Multiple tribes brought kids from across the state with the Chickasaw Nation sponsoring this year’s field day.

“Once you send the invitations out, it spreads like wildfire,” Duke said.

Although Duke will graduate in two years, she said she is taking steps to make sure the field day keeps

growing. Duke is putting together a guide for people to use perpetually.

“The Native youth and the schools will be looking forward to the OSU N7 Youth Event, so it needs to stay alive,” Duke said.

Duke will have help in the future because of groups such as the OSU Student Athlete Advisory Committee, Native American Student Association and the Center for Sovereign Nations.

Masheli Billy, a member of the Center for Sovereign Nations, said beyond the sports in general, it was

paramount to reach out to the younger generation of Native Americans.

“We need to introduce them to not only a college environment but to introduce them to a college environment while integrating them with our culture as well,” said Billy, an administrations and operations junior.

“I think it’s a great first step for a lot of them who may have never ever come to college or step foot on a campus.” follow jordan: @Jordanbishop35

Counseling services experiencing spring backlog OKLAHOMA STATE UNIVERSITY COUNSELING SERVICES

services: Individual, group, couple, Daniel Norman S taf f Rep ort er

The Oklahoma State University Counseling Services faces a challenge each semester coping with the number of students needing counseling.

The spring semester tends to be the busiest, and UCS has had a waiting list for at least part of the semester for four years said Trevor Richardson, the assistant director of University Counseling Services.

“During the spring semester, it’s typical to have 50-70 on the waiting list,” Richardson said.

A waiting list is when students can’t be assigned to a group or given an appointment at that time, Richardson said.

Joseph Dunnigan, a senior clinical counselor with UCS, said the rush typically starts about six weeks into the semester.

“Six weeks in is pretty busy, and we will maintain that load for the rest of the semester,” Dunnigan said.

This semester, the waiting list is shorter than usual with only 40 FRIDAY, APRIL 1, 2016

students, Richardson said.

However, this waiting list will take a while for a student to get through.

“We are already at a waiting list of three weeks if a student wanted to participate in individual counseling,” Richardson said.

The wait for a student to get into group counseling is shorter, Richardson said.

The problem isn’t only limited to OSU UCS. The University of Oklahoma has a similar spring backlog.

The office manager for OU’s University Counseling Center said OU faces a similar challenge in scheduling.

“Generally, we’re always scheduling out,” Buddy Norman said. “At the most stressful part of the semester, we might schedule out a couple of weeks.”

Richardson said UCS is trying to do all they can with the staff it has available, and it tries to be creative and provide services in as many ways as possible. UCS has also changed the way it takes in students.

“Over the last two years, we’ve changed our intake model, so that way, students don’t have to do a full one-hour session for that initial appointment,” Richardson said. “That way, our intake counselors can see more clients coming in per week.

“If we can see more people and assess them, we can match them with the service can meet their needs most quickly.”

It’s a change OU made in its intake process as well, Norman said.

“We’re doing 30-minute intakes instead of an hour just so we can get more students in.”

Kurt Steiss/O’COLLY The unattributed quote, “The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step,” is set on a wall at the University Counseling Services waiting room in the Student Union.

Norman said. “The first appointment is usually what they want to be the fastest.”

At OSU, some students who UCS can’t schedule an appointment are referred to either another clinic on campus or to a clinic off-campus in Stillwater, Richardson said.

“We will work with these students coming in to meet their need in the most efficient way possible whether that means in our shop or somewhere else,” Richardson said.

The main issues UCS sees in its clients is stressrelated and emotional problems, Dunnigan said.

“Stress and anxiety tend to be some of the largest percent of the concerns, which is typical if you

OCOLLY.COM

consider being in an educational environment,” Dunnigan said. “Then, of course, depression is typical as well as relationship issues, those tend to be the common ones we see as well.”

Students are entitled to 12 counseling sessions each year. There is no charge for intake or for group sessions, according to the UCS website.

For individual counseling sessions, the first four sessions are free, and sessions 5-12 are $10 per session. For coupling sessions, the price is $15 per session after the fourth session. For psychiatric evaluations and sessions, there is a fee of $65 per hour.

Dunnigan said the UCS

staff looks at every semester and tries to improve as much as it can, so it can prepare and run as smoothly as possible.

“Every year and semester, we try to evaluate how we’re seeing clients and how long it takes us to get people in and if there are ways to streamline this process,” Dunnigan said.

Richardson said UCS staff is always working together to try to work out the best ways to run the service.

“We are constantly coming together and talking about ideas that we can utilize and trying them out,” Richardson said. f o l l o w o c o l ly : @ o c o l ly PAGE 8

Healthy Sluder having productive return for Cowboys

by Nathan Ru iz

S en i or S po rt s Re p o rt e r

The swing, smile and speed look the same as they did a month ago, but Ryan Sluder looks like a different player.

The only difference is medical tape wrapping his left hand.

Against Indiana State on March 5, Sluder, the Oklahoma State baseball team’s center fielder, broke his left thumb on a headfirst slide into first base, desperate to be safe after a bunt attempt.

A preseason All-American, Sluder entered the afternoon contest with a .080 average, with two hits in 25 at-bats.

Cowboy Baseball

Who: West Virginia When: 5:30 p.m. Friday, 3 p.m. Saturday, noon Sunday Where: Monongalia County Ballpark in Morgantown, West Virginia Broadcast: KSPI 93.7 FM

In his first at-bat against the Sycamores, though, Sluder blasted a solo home run to left field to end a streak of 18 hitless at-bats.

The home run seemed to signify a change, a spark that could mark the return of Sluder’s 2015 performance: a .403 average in Big 12 play, a 14-game hitting streak, a spot on the

All-Big 12 Second Team.

The injury dulled that flame until March 22, when, in his second atbat back from the injury, Sluder hit his second home run of the season, supplying the final run of OSU’s 17-0 victory against Wichita State.

He has continued that hot streak, batting .313 with a .450 on-base percentage and six runs scored in five games, all OSU victories, since returning from the injury.

“At the plate, I feel just where I left off last year,” Sluder said. “It took, obviously, a little while to get there. I feel good. I’m just trying to do whatever I

can to help this team and continue our success.”

Sluder put his value to the Cowboys (18-7 overall, 3-0 Big 12) on display Tuesday against Arkansas.

After OSU fell behind 3-0 in the second inning, Sluder’s one-out double sparked a game-tying rally. In the eighth, he stole home on a trick play, scoring what proved to be the winning run in a 5-4 victory.

He shined defensively, as well. With two outs and the bases loaded in the sixth, a soft fly to center forced Sluder to sprint in.

He dove toward the infield, making the catch and keeping the game tied.

“I knew he’d catch it,” OSU coach Josh Holliday said. “He’s made that play so many times, and once that big old guy gets running full speed, he usually closes ground pretty good.

“His power, his speed, his defense really changes our lineup.”

As Sluder has made his productive return, the No. 16 Cowboys might have lost another middle-ofthe-order bat. Shortstop Donnie Walton fouled a ball off his right foot in Tuesday’s victory, exiting in the sixth inning with a bruise. Holliday said he was unsure of Walton’s status for OSU’s upcoming series against West

Virginia (12-10, 2-3) after Tuesday’s game.

The Cowboys stepped up when Sluder went down, winning 12 of their past 13 games. Sluder said he expects the same with Walton potentially out.

“There’s always someone to step in there and continue succeeding at that spot,” Sluder said. “We have guys that work hard that may not get to play, but when they get their opportunity, they’re ready to go. That’s just what makes it a great team, and I love these guys, and we’re going to continue winning.” f o l l o w N at h a n : @ n at h a n S r u i z

Oklahoma State University’s award-winning student newspaper has served Stillwater and the campus community since 1895. The O’Colly is a real newsroom that prepares students for a professional career in journalism.

We publish newspapers on Mondays, Wednesdays and Friday, during the school year.

We are online 24/7 with fresh content daily, breaking news, sports and more.

The O’Colly is independent from the university and entirely student run, with more than 100 students on payroll. A staff of three professionals advise, guide, educate and provide support.

The O’Colly is governed by the Student Media Board, which is made up of faculty, staff, students and Oklahoma media members.

In 2015, the O’Colly was honored for the fourth year in a row as Oklahoma’s best college newspaper by the Oklahoma Press Association.

Today’s Birthday (04/01/16). Explore this year. Your good work pays off (after 5/9). Save and plan for a trip (after 8/13). Begin a two-year partnership phase (after 9/9). The Virgo eclipse (9/1) sparks passion into your work, and the Pisces eclipse (9/16) inspires an inner shift. Pursue love.

To get the advantage, check the day’s rating: 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.

Aries (March 21-April 19) -- Today is a 6 -- Forgive miscommunications. Friends are a big help today and tomorrow ... contribute what you can. Love gives you power, especially together. Roll around obstacles. Ignore false rumors and gossip. Wait and rest.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) -- Today is an 8 -- Expect more responsibility over the next few days. Career opportunities show up. Don’t gamble, speculate or slack off. Notice worries, and then release. Maintain a tight budget and an attractive presentation.

Pay attention.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) -- Today is a 6 -- Don’t rely on an unstable source of income. The next two days are good for travel.

Investigate possibilities. Act on a passionate impulse, as long as you can pay for it.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) -- Today is an 8 -- Work together to tackle financial goals today and tomorrow. Discover new savings and efficiencies. Sort, revise and file documents and payments.

Discuss how to increase sales. Get creative.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Today is a 7 -- Misunderstandings with a partner could slow the action today and tomorrow. Listen more and talk less. Find other ways to cut costs. Learn from past failures without getting stopped. Try artistic solutions. Compromise.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Today is a 6 -- Get creative at work over the next few days, to handle increased demand. Changes at the top or a partner’s frustrations provide new obstacles. Beautify the package. Dress for success.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Today is a 5 -- Practice your game over the next two days. Talk is cheap ... pay attention to the action. Use hidden resources. Distractions abound. Find humor in an awkward moment.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Today is a 6 -- Home and family demand more attention over the next two days. Clear clutter, and free space for new endeavors. Quiet organizational projects satisfy. Tend your garden with love.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Today is an 8 -- Clarify what you mean in your communications today and tomorrow. Research and investigate the data. Listen to expert considerations. Changes and temporary confusion could rattle. Speak only the truth.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Today is an 8 -- Your morale gets a boost with your income. Rake in the dough today and tomorrow. Short-fused tempers blow with little provocation.

Discuss finances later. Earning seems easy, while saving requires concentration.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Today is a 7 -- Personal matters take priority over the next few days. Don’t worry about money (or spend much, either). Ignore criticism for now. Anticipate disagreement and avoid risky business. Enjoy peaceful alone time.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Today is a 5 -- Listen to your intuition today and tomorrow. Dreams have messages or insight.

Assess and make plans. Keep your word or change it. Slow down and look from different angles.
