One thing that scares the hell out of me is the power structure. In Boulder Colorado, at the university of Colorado there was a horrific incident where a female student allegedly shared childhood sexual abuse material of a male student with another student via airdrop.

That other student reported it - to the universities DEI organization. They of course got the police involved - but it tells you where students think power and authority lies.

Perhaps, or perhaps the other student just didn't know who to contact, so contacted whoever they recalled from the various trainings being a confidential source or mandatory reporter or whatever. Of perhaps the student knew someone in DEI and felt more comfortable reporting it to that person.

Universities have for centuries now had separate reporting structures than to local police. I think this is the bigger problem. If something illegal happens students should be reporting it to the police (and not campus police).

You're meant to be scared and upset. That's the point of these stories.
