Police officers were dispatched shortly before midnight Thursday to Read Center, where they spoke with a freshman girl who said she was sexually assaulted during the hours of 11 p.m. and 2 a.m. between Sept. 21 and Sept. 22. \nShe told officers she went to a house party in the area of Hunter Avenue, IU Police Department Capt. Jerry Minger said, reading from a police \nreport. \nThe girl said she was drinking with three male \nacquaintances. \nShe told officers she drifted in and out of consciousness while lying on a bed, \nMinger said.\nOne of the males then told the girl to close her eyes and go to sleep. \nShortly thereafter, she said she felt one of the males on top of her beginning to have intercourse, Minger said.\nShe asked him to stop, but he again told the girl to just close her eyes and go to sleep. \nMinger said the girl reported hearing two of the other males talking about the sexual assault that was going on. \nShe also told officers she did not know any of the subjects’ names or where they lived, Minger said. \nWhen the officers asked the girl whether she wanted to press charges or pursue the case, she replied that she did not want to press charges; she only wanted the record on file, Minger said. \nOfficers informed the girl of her options and provided her with handouts and numbers for counseling services. \nMinger said police will check back to see if the girl has changed her mind about pursuing the case.
