Maybe it's time for DA's to be blinded from knowing the identities of suspects when deciding whether or not to press charges--at least in college towns if not everywhere.  All you really need to know is age, sex, and past criminal history, right?

Pardon my ignorance, but if identity is unimportant, why would sex be relevant?

I'll take your word for that, but that factoid seems irrelevant to me if the DA is considering whether to bring charges for a crime that may already have been committed.
