The murder of Peace Corps volunteer Kate Puzey in Benin seized public attention in 2011. The volunteer was found dead after she reported her suspicions that a Peace Corps contractor was sexually harassing students at the school where she taught.


She didn't report suspicions that he was "sexually harassing students". She reported suspicions that he was sexually molesting girls.

I really, really hate when news outlets do this.
