Woman reports man sexually assaulted her at Halloween party

 

An 18-year-old woman told police a man tried to sexually assault her Saturday night at a Halloween party.

She told officers she was at a house party when a man asked her to go into a room with him before forcing himself on top of her.

The woman told officers she told the man to stop multiple times before bringing her knees to her chest and kicking him off.

“Nothing happened, fortunately,” Bloomington Police Department Sgt. Robert Skelton said. “It could have been a lot worse.”

The woman told police she didn’t want to pursue charges against the man and only made the report because her Residential Assistant advised her to.

The incident happened at a party somewhere between 14th and 17th streets, College Avenue and Madison Street.
