Rape reported at McNutt

Police: Woman not sure if she will press charges

A woman reported to the IU Police Department that an acquaintance raped her in a McNutt Quad dorm room the morning of April 6, said IUPD Lt. Jerry Minger.\nThe woman reported that she told the man she did not want to have sex with him, but he forced her to, Minger said. She said they had been consuming alcohol.\n"She did indicate that she did not want to have sexual relations with him," Minger said. "He continued to force himself on her, and they did have \nintercourse."\nMinger said police will re-interview the subject to see if she intends to press charges. IUPD initially interviews rape victims at the time they report the crime and then goes back a few days later to give them time to think about what they want.\n"She wasn't sure at first," Minger said. "She kind of thought she didn't want to pursue anything legally. But we'll re-interview her -- I always hate to take that first indication that they don't want to pursue it"
