Student reports rape after party

Freshman claims she was drugged, assaulted

An 18-year-old female student reported she was the victim of a sexual assault that occurred sometime after 1 a.m. Sunday, said IU Police Department Lt. Jerry Minger, quoting a police report. \nThe female said in the report that she had been consuming alcohol at an undisclosed fraternity. Someone offered her a drink and she reported she experienced a hazy, dreamlike state, according to the report. \nThe female said she could only remember bits and pieces of what happened between 1 a.m. and 2 p.m. Sunday, when she woke up in her dorm room. \nDuring that time, she recalled a white, college-age male, about 6 feet tall, leading her from the fraternity house to an off-campus house. She then remembered the male subject on top of her, engaging in sexual intercourse, Minger said. She told him to stop, then she lost consciousness again, finally re-awakening at 2 p.m. in her room. \nShe called her parents, who called the IUPD and came to Bloomington to be with her. \nOfficers took her to Bloomington Hospital, administered a rape kit and obtained clothing evidence, according to the report. \nThe case is still under \ninvestigation.
