Investigation Underway After Sexual Assault Reported at University of Chicago Fraternity PartyPreviousNext

A 21-year-old woman reported being sexually assaulted during a party at the Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity house near the University of Chicago campus. The woman, who is not a student, was found partially undressed and locked inside a bathroom with a man while a group of men outside reportedly cheered and made disturbing remarks. University officials identified a person of interest who has been barred from campus, and police are investigating. No arrests have been made, and the victim is receiving medical treatment.
