A female resident of Briscoe Quad told IU Police Department officers Saturday that she was raped, according to a police report.\nIUPD Capt. Jerry Minger said officers responded to a call shortly after 2 a.m. Saturday. A female Briscoe resident told officers she had been smoking a cigarette in the Briscoe circle drive when a group of males called her by name and asked her to “hang out with them.” According to the police report, the victim told police she had consumed alcohol before the incident.\n“Eventually she was left alone in the room with the suspect, a white male, five feet ten inches tall, with brown hair described as ‘buzzed,’” Minger said. “The subject didn’t indicate that she had passed out, but said he began kissing her, holding her hand, and the next thing she knew he was on top of her and they were having sexual intercourse.”\nThe woman could not remember where the room was, other than that it was near the end of a hallway and it had an inflatable Santa in the corner of the room, Minger said. The victim told police she did not know any of the men in the room. \nThe victim was taken to Bloomington Hospital where a rape kit was administered, Minger said.
