VALENCIA COLLEGE
1280 16:43:29:08 16:43:31:24
HAS A MEDICAL PROGRAM THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE REALLY, REALLY
1281 16:43:31:25 16:43:36:28
GREAT, BUT THEY ARE RUNNING INTO AN ISSUE.
THEY ARE DEALING WITH
1282 16:43:36:28 16:43:41:11
A FEDERAL LAWSUIT BECAUSE OF SOME OF THE FORMER COLLEGE
1283 16:43:41:11 16:43:46:10
STUDENTS CLAIM THAT THEY WERE FORCED TO UNDERGO VAGINAL PROBE
1284 16:43:46:10 16:43:49:21
UNDER SOUNDS.
THE LAWSUIT, WHICH HAS BEEN FILED WITH THE FEDERAL
1285 16:43:49:21 16:43:54:09
GOVERNMENT, CLAIMS THAT STAFF MEMBERS TOLD THE STUDENTS THEY
1286 16:43:54:10 16:43:59:04
COULD FIND ANOTHER SCHOOL IF THEY DID NOT WISH TO BE PAROLED,
1287 16:43:59:04 16:44:02:19
AND MADE SUGGESTIVE COMMENTS TO THE WOMEN AS CLASSMATES
1288 16:44:02:20 16:44:04:11
PROBED THEIR ORGANS.
1289 16:44:04:12 16:44:09:03
THIS IS INSANE.
I HONESTLY DIDN'T EVEN BELIEVE THIS STORY.
1290 16:44:09:04 16:44:10:08
>> ME NEITHER.
1291 16:44:10:08 16:44:10:14
>> I THOUGHT, MAYBE YOU MADE THIS UP.
1292 16:44:10:14 16:44:10:18
>> A LITTLE JOKE.
1293 16:44:10:18 16:44:12:16
>> NO, IT IS A REAL STORY.
1294 16:44:12:16 16:44:16:20
APPARENTLY THE SCHOOL, OR AT LEAST THIS PARTICULAR
1295 16:44:16:21 16:44:21:06
CLASS, BELIEVES IT IS IMPORTANT FOR THESE STUDENTS WERE
1296 16:44:21:07 16:44:26:05
GOING TO ENTER THE MEDICAL WORLD TO UNDERSTAND HOW SOMETHING
1297 16:44:26:05 16:44:28:11
LIKE A VAGINAL PROBE WORKS.
1298 16:44:28:11 16:44:32:24
SO THEY MAKE THE STUDENTS GET UNDRESSED, COME BACK INTO
1299 16:44:32:25 16:44:35:01
THE CLASSROOM WITH A TOWEL –
1300 16:44:35:02 16:44:39:08
>> AND THEY ARE WALKING IN FRONT OF THEIR CLASSMATES –
1301 16:44:39:09 16:44:43:18
>> AND THEN IN OTHER CLASSMATE PUTS A VAGINAL PROBE INTO THEM.
1302 16:44:43:19 16:44:44:20
WHAT IS THIS?
1303 16:44:44:21 16:44:47:23
>> HOW MANY GUYS ARE IN THIS CLASSROOM?
1304 16:44:47:24 16:44:51:28
I WANT TO KNOW, WHAT ARE WE DOING TO THEM TO TEACH THEM
1305 16:44:51:28 16:44:54:22
THE IMPORTANCE OF A VAGINAL PROBE?
1306 16:44:54:22 16:44:56:29
>> WHERE ARE THE BUTT PLUGS?
1307 16:44:56:29 16:45:01:16
>> IS THERE SOME RECTAL EXAM THAT THEY HAVE TO GO TO THAT IS
1308 16:45:01:17 16:45:01:26
EQUAL TO SOME DEGREE THAT THEY CAN LEARN IT?
THIS IS
1309 16:45:01:27 16:45:05:25
DISGUSTING.
IF I HAD A DAUGHTER, IF SHE WAS IN THIS
1310 16:45:05:26 16:45:10:26
CLASS, AND SOMEONE MADE HER FEEL GUILTY THAT SHE WOULD LOSE HER
1311 16:45:10:27 16:45:13:27
EDUCATION IF SHE DID NOT STEP DOWN AND DO THIS, SUCH THIS
1312 16:45:13:27 16:45:13:27
SCHOOL DOWN.
1313 16:45:13:27 16:45:17:19
>> THERE NEEDS TO BE A FULL ON INVESTIGATION INTO THIS, BUT
1314 16:45:17:20 16:45:22:17
BASED ON THE INFORMATION I HAVE NOW, AND OF COURSE I DON'T HAVE
1315 16:45:22:18 16:45:27:18
ALL THE INFORMATION, THERE MIGHT BE MORE DETAILS TO COME OUT IN
1316 16:45:27:18 16:45:31:18
THE FUTURE THAT MIGHT CHANGE MY MIND, BUT BASED ON WHAT I KNOW
1317 16:45:31:18 16:45:35:18
ABOUT THIS STORY NOW, HOW IS THIS ANY DIFFERENT FROM SEXUAL
1318 16:45:35:18 16:45:39:06
ASSAULT?
YOU ARE TELLING THEIR STUDENTS – YOU ARE TELLING THE
1319 16:45:39:06 16:45:44:01
STUDENTS IT IS NOT OPTIONAL.
IF THEY DID NOT DO IT, THEY WOULD
1320 16:45:44:02 16:45:47:01
BE HURT IN THE GRADE.
THE WOMEN WERE REQUIRED TO DISROBE IN A
1321 16:45:47:02 16:45:52:09
RESTROOM, COVER THEMSELVES IN TOWELS, AND ACROSS THE CLASSROOM
1322 16:45:52:09 16:45:53:04
IN FRONT OF OTHER STUDENTS.
A STUDENT WOULD PLACE A CONDOM
1323 16:45:53:04 16:45:58:07
OVER THE PROBE, AND THEN APPLY GENEROUS AMOUNTS OF LUBRICATION
1324 16:45:58:08 16:46:02:16
TO THE PROBE.
IN SOME CASES, THE STUDENT WOULD HAVE TO
1325 16:46:02:17 16:46:07:27
SEXUALLY STIMULATE PLAINTIFFS IN ORDER TO FACILITATE INSERTING
1326 16:46:07:27 16:46:14:08
THE PROBE INTO PLAINTIFFS' VAGINAS.
1327 16:46:14:08 16:46:18:09
>> THIS IS WHY I AM LIKE, WHAT THE FLOCK, LITERALLY.
1328 16:46:18:10 16:46:19:14
THIS IS CRAZY.
1329 16:46:20:01 16:46:23:29
I HAVE NEVER BEEN IN THAT SITUATION WITH A DOCTOR,
1330 16:46:23:29 16:46:27:02
HOW ARE THESE THINGS CONNECTED AT ALL?
1331 16:46:27:02 16:46:29:20
THIS SOUNDS ABSOLUTELY ABSURD.
1332 16:46:29:21 16:46:32:08
>> YOU HIT THAT RIGHT ON THE NAIL.
1333 16:46:32:09 16:46:36:13
THIS IS SEXUAL ASSAULT AT ITS FINEST, AND IT IS IN THE
1334 16:46:36:13 16:46:40:21
PUBLIC EYE, AND EVERYONE IS ALLOWING THIS TO HAPPEN.
1335 16:46:40:21 16:46:44:28
I AM SO GLAD THAT THIS STORY CAME OUT, BECAUSE IT NEEDS
1336 16:46:44:28 16:46:46:05
TO BE SHUT DOWN.
1337 16:46:46:06 16:46:49:11
IF THIS IS HAPPENING HERE, I AM SURE IT IS HAPPENING
1338 16:46:49:11 16:46:49:11
SOMEWHERE ELSE.
1339 16:46:49:11 16:46:52:10
>> VALENCIA COLLEGE HAS RELEASED A STATEMENT ABOUT THIS.
THE
1340 16:46:52:11 16:46:56:24
COLLEGE ISSUED A STATEMENT MONDAY THAT SAID, THE USE OF
1341 16:46:56:25 16:47:02:06
VOLUNTEERS, INCLUDING FELLOW STUDENTS, FOR MEDICAL SONOGRAPHY
1342 16:47:02:06 16:47:14:21
TRAINING, IS A NATIONALLY ACCEPTED PRACTICE.
THE POLICIES
1343 16:47:14:21 16:47:15:09
SHOULD BE DIFFERENT, AT LEAST WHEN IT COMES TO VAGINAL
1344 16:47:15:09 16:47:15:09
PROBING.
1345 16:47:15:09 16:47:19:13
>> I UNDERSTAND THAT AS A DOCTOR YOU WANT TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THE
1346 16:47:19:14 16:47:23:24
PATIENT IS GOING THROUGH, AND I CAN SEE HOW, IN A CLOSED
1347 16:47:23:24 16:47:28:19
ENVIRONMENT, OR A SITUATION WHERE A STUDENT FELT EXTREMELY
1348 16:47:28:19 16:47:33:19
COMFORTABLE IN TAKING PART IN THE EXAMINATION, YOU KNOW WHAT I
1349 16:47:33:20 16:47:37:15
MEAN?
I THINK THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT I COULD
1350 16:47:37:16 16:47:46:26
UNDERSTAND THAT, BUT NOTHING THAT IS DESCRIBED HERE
1351 16:47:48:16 16:47:49:28
MAKES SENSE TO ME.
1352 16:47:49:29 16:47:54:06
>> WHY PUT YOUR STUDENTS AT RISK?
THIS IS DISGUSTING.
1353 16:47:54:07 16:47:57:06
>> THERE NEEDS TO BE AN INVESTIGATION INTO THIS.
1354 16:47:47:25 16:47:52:08
JUST BECAUSE THEY FILED THE LAWSUIT, DOES NOT MEAN THAT
1355 16:47:52:09 16:47:56:10
ALL OF THEIR CLAIMS ARE TRUE, BUT I AM GLAD THAT THEY
1356 16:47:56:11 16:48:01:08
HAVE COME FORWARD AND THAT THEY FILED THIS LAWSUIT, BECAUSE
1357 16:48:01:08 16:48:05:06
IF THIS IS REALLY GOING ON, THEY ARE NOT ONLY DOING
1358 16:48:05:07 16:48:10:13
SOMETHING TO PROTECT THEMSELVES, THEY ARE DOING SOMETHING THAT
1359 16:48:10:13 16:48:15:11
COULD PROTECT OTHER STUDENTS WERE TAKING CLASSES LIKE THIS.
1360 16:48:15:11 16:48:19:09
>> IF THIS IS A NATIONALLY ACCEPTED PRACTICE, WHO
1361 16:48:19:10 16:48:22:24
KNOWS WHAT IS HAPPENING
