Victoria Hewlett told Crime Watch Daily’s Elizabeth Smart that she was sexually assaulted by Sigma Chi fraternity member Jason Relopez at Utah State University. The former military guy allegedly got very angry when talking to her about his past in the war, and shortly thereafter, he sexually and physically assaulted her.

I'm very sorry about that you had to go through the nightmare 😭😞🫂💔 I don't wanna wish that on my worst enemy because I'm a rape survivor myself
I'm sorry but what the hell is that trick smiling at the end? This is why I'm convinced that TV personalities are out of their freaking minds what about what you just said constitutes a smile?
For those asking why the friends left, they were likely going out and figured she was actually with the guy, without her screaming out to them how are they going to know? sure you can say that you would have stayed to check on your friend or maybe called the cops but you don't know what you do in that situation, especially if you're on your way to doing something else and you don't know what you would do in her situation either, because clearly she was either too afraid to say anything or was threatened, for all you know they forgot to mention that her mouth was covered, obviously there was no screaming otherwise they likely would have done something. Nor does anyone know how loud it was in the place at the time, also it said apartment didn't it? I don't remember them saying frat house. Lastly and most importantly, the thoughts and opinions of those who like to victim blame even if they themselves are a victim… do not matter and that should tell you something, even if you also have been raped and you have the stance that you should have gone to the cops, you should've done this, you should have done that, your opinion is irrelevant most especially if you've never been attacked, because everyone's experience is going to be different, everyone's reaction is going to be different and if all you can do is come up with every excuse in the book to blame a woman for being attacked then you are just a pathetic excuse for a human being and you should come to terms with that before putting crap up here that is completely ignorant.
Absolutely disgraceful by the College…,knowledge of this predator doing these things & doing nothing! I would Sue too!!
Thank you for sharing ! Fallow your new ,podcasts , also other shows ! Love fr. Canada P.E.I.♥️🙏🇨🇦
Wow. One year for assaulting two women? That is not justice. Especially since he was a repeat offender and had multiple offenses outside of the two women who pressed charges. That's a slap on the wrist.
I'm so confused as to why the friends didn't call the police!? I would have if it was my friend. 😢
This man is a serial killer in the making- if he isn’t one already.
BEING DRUNK IS NOT A RAPE ABLE OFFENSE. The end
Only 1 year?!?!
He’s going to kill sooner or later
So in other words if you are a college student you get 1 year in jail. But if you are not a college student you get 20 years to life in prison. This is what is wrong with this government and the law in the law in this country. One for one set of people and a different one for another set of people.anypne out their want to say I am wrong just look at this case prime example
As a man I feel so terrible for her. Not sure what me being a man has to do with my sincerity, as a human I feel terrible for her to have had this happen…. Not even knowing her and just me being and feeling like a protector and a bully slayer of sorts ever since I was a young boy as far back I can remember. I feel this burning want to have somehow been there to pull him off and actually wishing/hoping I would lose control and beat him to the brink of death. I don’t have tough guy syndrome and don’t have violence issues but I’ve also been blessed with confrontational/physical interaction syndrome. I think of my young daughter and I can’t even imagine. She shows such resilience and honor. What a fighter
Well who drinks with strangers, dumb and dumber
Notice how she never ever ever once mentioned that she said no.
When she says " I'm covered " does she mean that she's dressed or covered of bruises (I'm not American/English)?
This isn't PTSD.. Ptsd is a uncontrollable reflexive response to social triggers. What this man did was premeditated. He manipulated the situation and used the military history as a pawn. This is classic sociopathy
Elizabeth Smart speaks 3 words at a time. Slowly. Her manner and facial expression—there seems to be only one—makes me think of a friend you just disclosed a secret to and you immediately regret telling her.
The reporter ''what was it for you that made you decide to report what happened to you'' oh really?? didn't she just described how she was raped !!
You don't need enemies with friends like that!
The sentence is a joke!! I’m glad she filed a lawsuit. The system is ridiculous, this only is allowing him to do it again or even worse
This guy gets 1 year for raping 2 women? Unbelievable. And he's raped more, he only got in trouble for 2. He should be doing life. 1 year will not rehabilitate this fool. He's going to do it again, now he thinks it's ok to rape and he'll just get a slap on the wrist for it. This countries justice system disgust me.
I wonder if the defense attorneys daughter was raped, would he think of it the same way? "You probably wanted it and now you regret it, it's not rape!"
Why would she go back to his room after the bathroom? Why no screaming when she heard her friends? I think she was raped but you have to fight
What the h.. 1 yr for rape the 2 girls…
Drinking at the room with the man and then inviting you to talk to the bathroom is reg flags🙄
i don't believe guys who say, "i saw some bad stuff while in the military."
he was probably nowhere NEAR any actual fighting.
the people who go through it don't brag about it, and they damn sure don't use it as a pickup line.
the justice system is a joke! 🤬
Diz shit is fucked up he just get 1 year wtf 💯💯
Poor thing…seems like she got too drunk and ended up in a situation. Guys, especially frat guys at a party in their element, see every girl as a potential conquest. I think everyone kind of knows what to expect. Drink responsibly and avoid "date rape". Simple in this case. And most importantly, have good friends who elevate you and encourage your confidence! People with low self esteem are easy targets for narcissistic people.
Shame we can’t get to hear his side.
how many girls get raped on campus in US?
by the reaction of the university it seems to be normal
Some friends they are to just walk off and leave her alone with a guy she just met. That's mind boggling!!
How could they let this fool stay at the school after knowing what he's capable of?? Wtf?!
The interviewer sounds like she’s under the influence.
Be strong girls look at my other comments and you will know how I feel
Had too rewind couldn’t believe 1 year thought I miss herd I’m man I feel sick 1 year fucking joke chop his balls and all off should be a law and jail for 20 years atleast if I was a judge giving him that would be me been nice that man makes me sick even I’m sry too all women out there having too deal with men like this but remember we are not all like him and I’m so sry for what happened and I’m angry and love too so the chopping no joke
1 fucking year that’s a slap in face for all poor women who had too deal with people like this
Here is the issue I have…Was due process followed? The accused, guilty or not, has every right to deny and dispute the charges against them and fight to win his case. This is not about disbelieving the women, but having laws in place to make sure the road to justice is fair (that's right, fair, not equal, not even, but fair). And here is why…
1. There are people out there who do things they may not intend while they are drunk, and the lawyer is right, it does not make it rape or sexual assault. And this is held DOUBLY true if BOTH parties have been drinking.
2. There are girls and women who do have regret for some reason, maybe they cheated on a significant other, maybe they hooked up just to feel better, or maybe their image could not get an unwanted change, etc. (this goes for boys and men too) A person should not be punished because of their regret.
3. There are girls and women who do lie about the sexual encounter for whatever reason, again maybe to coverup their misdeed, because their feelings are hurt, or to actually set someone up for their gain.
All these roads and avenues must be followed so that justice can be served. And again, justice is about fairness, not feelings or thoughts or opinions. It is 1 part evidence and 2 parts good storytelling.
So, again, I think most campuses DO listen to those who make claims of sexual assaults, but they also have to look at making sure the claims are valid and this means the accused gets rights as well to defend themselves, and if justice cannot fairly punish the accused, then why should they be punished because justice happened to fall on the side of the accused?
I thought that was Elizabeth Smart I’m so glad she’s thriving and yah frat boy needs to be locked up
Throw the entire college and justice system away
I wish she could’ve went to the cops right after it happened bloody and all so the cops would have no choice but to believe her
A white boy, one year. A black boy, twenty year. Its America.
I hope you not with those crack head friends any more 1 year is not enough time
She was really nice
He's a PUNK. Going to be bald before his 25th birthday….what a douche.
At least 2 lives forever changed and he gets 1 fucking year. DISGUSTING.
5 women? Where is the soldering iron? To castrate him, and to make sure that there is no excessive bleeding.
I keep hearing of this crap in utah. No excuse for rape but I wonder if sexual repression makes utah a higher risk for this. Meaning Mormon beliefs.
Umm yeah if ya friends were right out side why not call out to let them no somthing was going down.
