Two rapes reported at McNutt Quad

From IDS reports

Two incidents of rape were reported to the IU Police Department occurring at the same time between Friday and Saturday at McNutt Quad, according to IUPD’s daily crime log.

The two victims, both from the Indianapolis area, were under the age of 18 and knew each other. One of the victims first reported the incident to an Indianapolis area police department, which then referred the report to IUPD for investigation Tuesday. IUPD has interviewed two suspects in connection with the case.

An IUPD statement identified the suspects as both IU students and 18-year-old males. The incident occurred in separate rooms at McNutt, each belonging to one of the suspects.

The two victims met the suspects while visiting Bloomington together, IUPD Lt. Andy Stephenson said. The suspects didn’t know the victims previous to the incident. IUPD doesn’t know the nature of the meeting and is investigating events leading up to the incident, Stephenson said.

No arrests have been made at this time. Child Protective Services is assisting in the investigation.
