Police investigating alleged rapes

Two women report separate cases Tuesday

Bloomington police are investigating two separate alleged rapes reported Tuesday and Wednesday, Sgt. Jeff \nCanada said.\nOne report came Tuesday morning when a 40-year-old woman claimed she was raped in her home around 8 a.m., Canada said.\nThe woman was taken to Bloomington Hospital and police were then alerted.\nShe told officers she had forgotten something in her house and left the door cracked while she went inside to retrieve it. She said that a skinny white male in his 30s, who was around 6-feet tall and wearing a ski mask, entered her home and raped her on her couch.\nThe reported rape occurred on the east side and there are no suspects, Canada said.\nPolice received another report of a possible rape Wednesday morning when a 20-year-old IU student said she awoke in a strange apartment without any clothes.\nShe told officers she had gone out with friends the previous night and did not remember how she got in the south side residence or where her clothes went, Canada said.\nThinking she might have been raped, the woman called her friends to pick her up and then went to the hospital.\nBoth cases are still under investigation, Canada said.
