An ISU student reported being possibly sexually assaulted on Oct. 26.

The assault may have happened inside a room in the Birch-Welch-Roberts residence complex, according to a timely warning sent out by ISU Police on Nov. 7. Universities are required to notify the campus community of campus crimes by the Clery Act.

The assault was said to be a possibility because it is possible for an individual to be “so impaired or so intoxicated they are not sure what happened to them,” said Darin Van Ryswyk, investigations captain for ISU Police.

“We want bystanders to look after their friends, and we need people to understand that they can be victimized so easily,” Van Rsywyk said. 

The assault is still under investigation. 

This is the second sexual assault reported on campus this academic year.

The Clery Act requires universities to issue timely warnings of crimes that occur on campus or in off-campus university facilities in a manner likely to reach all members of the campus community.
