Another sex-assault reported

University of Iowa officials have received a report of another sexual assault.

This would be the 12th sexual assault reported for the 2013-14 academic year.

The student reported to UI staff that she had been sexually assaulted this past fall semester by an acquaintance at an on-campus residence hall. The student and acquaintance had attended an off-campus party together.

Reportedly, the acquaintance gave the student a drink, but she has no memory of consuming the drink. The student woke up the next morning with the acquaintance in the student’s room. She told officials she was sexually assaulted while incapacitated.

The student also reportedly received information that the same acquaintance has committed another sexual assault earlier this spring. The second victim has not reported the incident to university officials.

UI officials expelled a student for sexual misconduct, following recent calls for a zero-tolerance policy. The male student was a repeat offender, who had forcibly fondled one student before committing the same act, along with forced sodomy, on another in an unrelated assault.
