An individual reported being sexually assaulted Friday at Iowa State, but a lack of details kept the University from sending out a timely warning on the incident.

ISU PD’s daily log of incidents for Friday, Feb. 12, said an individual reported the sexual assault at 4:07 p.m. at the Student Services Building.

Iowa State students may recall receiving “timely warning” messages in their school email after assaults in the past, a measure required to comply with the Clery Act, a federal statute that requires all colleges participating in federal financial aid programs to keep and disclose information about crime on and near their campuses.

The assault reported Friday did not warrant an email to students, Aaron DeLashmutt, interim assistant vice president and chief of police, told the Des Moines Register, because the victim did not give enough details, like where the assault occurred. 

DeLashmutt said ISU PD officers did talk with the victim about options they could take following the assault.
