Separate reports of rape and intimidation at two campus fraternity houses were made to the IU Police Department Sept. 13-15.
IU student, Noah Apgar, was arrested Tuesday and charged with rape, strangulation and confinement. Apgar cannot be on IU property without prior authorization from the university, IUPD Public Information Officer Hannah Skibba said.
According to Skibba, Apgar was the suspect of a reported rape that occurred Sept. 13, inside Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity house. The report was sent in a crime notice to students. Two days later, he was the suspect of another rape reported by a different student that occurred Sept. 6, at an unnamed Greek house on North Eagleson Avenue.
Apgar was a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon before being suspended. It is unknown if he is still a member of the fraternity.
A report of intimidation came from Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity house on North David Baker Avenue on Sept. 15. A student attending the party at the house told officers they heard an unknown male threaten to “shoot up the party,” Skibba said.
The student did not see a weapon and left the party soon after the threat was made. IUPD officers made an extra parole of the house, but did not find the suspect. IUPD confirmed shots were not fired during this incident.
