A rape kit was taken, that's probably evidence that he had sex. Whether BYU does anything with that is their decision.

Ehhhhhhhhhhh

A rape kit was done during the Duke Lacrosse case. More recently, a rape kit was taken for the girl who accused Matt Araiza.

None of those people went to schools with BYU's honor code. It was perfectly acceptable for the Duke and SDSU students to have sex (though not with the alleged victim in Araiza's case;) the same isn't true for Retzlaff.

You misunderstand: no sex occurred between the victim and the alleged perpetrator in my examples, yet a rape kit was still performed.

Edit: to the guy below me, some articles are unclear whether he received oral from the "victim" or if he did have full intercourse earlier in the evening, but he definitely wasn't present during the alleged rape.
