University Police officers are investigating a sexual assault that occurred Friday morning in Territorial Hall.
Neither the victim nor the suspect, who are acquaintances, is a University student. Also, both have left the state to go back to their respective schools.
According to police reports, the victim, who was visiting a University student with the suspect, passed out after drinking heavily. When she woke up, she found the suspect having sexual intercourse with her.
However, the victim didn’t report the incident until almost two days after it occurred. Because it happened on campus, University Police took the case. Sgt. Joe May said the investigation might take longer than usual because the parties involved do not live near the University.
