Fourth Degree Sexual Assault in Residence Hall

  • Incident date: September 21, 2014, 1:00 am
  • Incident type: Sexual Assault
  • Location/address: UW-Madison Residence Hall

On Sunday, September 21, a UW student reported to a campus official that she was touched inappropriately, without consent, in an on-campus residence hall. The victim reported that this has happened before, and possibly to others as well.

At this time, law enforcement is not involved, at the request of the victim. However, the university is investigating the incident.  The perpetrator has been identified and university’s disciplinary procedures have been initiated.

It’s important to know and respect your fellow peers’ boundaries. Consent is still critical — no means no, stop means stop.
