The ISU Police Department is investigating a sexual assault that took place on campus early Sunday morning.

The assault occurred Sunday in Friley Hall, according to a press release.

The release stated that two unknown white males approached a female student while she was resting in a Friley Hall lounge area and proceeded to physically and sexually assault her.

The identity of the males or whether they are ISU students is unknown. 

ISU Police did not release any further description regarding the two males, citing the ongoing investigation into the incident.

Aaron DeLashmutt, interim assistant vice president and chief of police, said investigators are working to identify those involved.

ISU students received a timely warning regarding the incident Monday afternoon. 

DeLashmutt said the main intent of the timely warning was just “letting people know so they could do what they need to do to be safe” and that this crime does not reflect the values of the university.
