100s of rapes unreported by State College police

State College Police used a pre-2013 rape definition until late 2022, misclassifying 254 rapes as lesser sex offenses, leading to distorted crime data, Spotlight PA found.

Summary by Spotlight PA
The missing data masked the true extent of the crime surrounding Penn State. The central PA department claims it was unaware of a 2013 change to what is considered rape.
