I think the wording the media uses is very misleading. Many of the recently reported cases are really an abuse of power. The victim is often threatened with a less appealing outcome if she were to resist the advances made upon her. It is worth noting that people rise to positions of power due to their talent for being over-bearing and appearing reasonable when in fact they are being self-important, entitled jerks. A swift kick where it hurts the most would be the best response, but then again that would result in immediate expulsion. If the annoying 18 yo male is handsome and has a good job, then the pressure is welcome. But if he is some pimple faced, nerd then it is considered to be harassment. You only have to see how sports jocks have the babes fawning over them. Percentages are impossible to come by. But to confirm your suspicions, I know of at least one serial harassment claimant who has made out quite well from her accusations. But the media didn't give it as much airtime as it deserved. Probably so as to not tip of the M.O. for others.
