A female IU student reported she had been sexually assaulted after the IU Police Department was called for medical assistance at 2:16 a.m. Saturday at Kappa Alpha Theta sorority, IUPD Capt. Andy Stephenson said.
The student was intoxicated and taken into custody. Once at jail, she reported the sexual assault to IUPD, but could not remember any specific details, Stephenson said. She was then transferred to the hospital. No suspect has been identified.
Jeanie Van Meter, house director for Kappa Alpha Theta, said the female student was not a member of the sorority and that sisters of Kappa Alpha Theta went out of their way to assist the female student.
In a second incident, a female student reported at 4:25 a.m. Sunday she had been raped after accepting a ride in a car from three men she met that night, Stephenson said.
She reported the rape occurred in the vehicle. The three suspects claim the sexual activity was consensual, Stephenson said. IUPD believes alcohol was involved.
Tracy James, assurance communications manager for IU Public Safety and Institutional Assurance, said in an email the men in the car were not students and only one suspect has been identified.
No charges have been filed yet and the incident is still under investigation.
In a third incident reported to IUPD, a man made a third-party complaint of the rape of a female student, James said in the email.
The report was made at 2:09 a.m. Sunday after the man overheard a conversation in which the student said she had been raped, Stephenson said. The victim was allegedly assaulted months ago, Stephenson said. The victim did not wish to speak to the police and there is no active investigation.
A fourth incident of rape was reported as occurring at 2:06 a.m. Sunday. The reported rape occurred off-campus, James said in the email.
Bloomington Police Department handled the case and did not comment.

In a previous version of this story, it was said the three men in the car in the second incidence of rape reported were students and suspects in the case. Only one suspect has been named and the men in the car were not students. It was also said in the previous article that a female student made a third-party complaint of the rape of a female student. The person who made this complaint is a man who is not a student. In the fourth reported incident, a previous version of this story said the reported rape occurred in McNutt Quadrangle. The reported rape occurred off-campus. The IDS regrets these errors.
