Juvenile reports sexual assault on Bloomington south side

A 17-year-old boy called the Bloomington Police Department at 8:24 p.m. Aug. 17 to report a sexual assault from Aug. 13.

After receiving the call, BPD brought the victim to the station for questioning and later to the hospital for an exam.

The victim said he had been at at a house party on the south side of Bloomington and had consumed some alcohol when he received sexual advances from a male subject who he knew. At the time, the victim rejected those advances, he said.

Later that night the victim began to feel sick and passed out on a bed in the house. When he awoke the next morning, he was in just his underwear, but he said he did not think anything of it at the time.

The victim said he later began to notice pain in the rectal area, which made him believe he had been sexually assaulted at the party.

He has since been taken to the hospital where he is undergoing exams to help ascertain what happened.

BPD said it plans to follow up on the victim’s account and contact a number of people who the victim said were at the party in order to gain a clearer picture of what happened.

This is an active case currently being investigated by BPD detectives.
