Cook: Calhoun prom assault was never about beer

David Cook

This is not about alcohol.

It’s not about how much beer the teenagers drank after the prom. It’s not about how much liquor or wine they had with them at their resort cabin party in the North Georgia woods.

This is about sexual assault.

And aggravated sexual battery.

It’s about three men — 18 years old, graduating seniors — who police say committed sexual battery against an 18-year-old woman. A classmate. A graduating senior, just like them.
