Two sexual assaults were reported to State College Police this week, One of them occurred this past weekend while the other occurred some time ago.
The first was reported to police at about 11 a.m. Saturday, police said. A woman told investigators that a man she knew assaulted her, but that she didn’t want anything done about it.
The other assault was reported to police at about 1 p.m. Saturday. The woman who reported it said she was raped by a man she knew, police said. The man is the woman’s ex-boyfriend and the assault occurred months ago, police said.
A rape was also reported on campus over the weekend. University police say a Penn State student was raped in the East Halls housing complex early Saturday morning. The suspect is identified only as a college-aged man who is known to the victim. It’s unclear whether that suspect has been charged.
Neither of the assaults reported to State College Police are believed to be linked to the rape that was reported to Penn State Police Saturday.
Penn State Police said a Penn State student was raped in the East Halls housing complex early Saturday morning. The suspect is identified as a college-aged man who is known to the victim.
