A woman who reported being sexually assaulted by a friend doesn’t want to press charges, police said Wednesday. She just wants an apology.
Police responded at about 2:50 a.m. Tuesday to the 700 block of North Walnut Street, where a 21-year-old woman told them she’d been fondled by a 25-year-old male friend, Bloomington Police Department Detective Sgt. Dana Cole said.
The woman told police she and the man had been out for dinner and drinks before returning to her apartment for more drinks. At some point she felt unwell and went to her room to lay down. He followed her in, lay down next to her and began touching her.
When she confronted him, he left, Cole said. When police interviewed the man, he denied touching the woman. She told police she doesn’t want the man to face charges, but she does want him to apologize to her.
