Police investigate sexual assault report at University of Chicago fraternity

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 15 Oct, 03:02 · Archive

Chicago police are investigating a woman's report of sexual assault at an Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity house near the University of Chicago campus early Sunday. The 21-year-old woman, who is not a student, reported the assault to police and went to a hospital for treatment.

According to the Chicago Sun-Times citing the police report, the woman had been drinking and dancing at the party when she began feeling unwell. Two of her friends then found her 'not fully conscious' in a bathroom with a man, with both partially undressed. The university said the alleged perpetrator fled the house after being confronted by another person.

As of Wednesday, no one had been charged. The University of Chicago, which has an enrollment of 18,000 students, said police identified a person of interest. The investigation comes amid scrutiny over how universities handle sexual assault allegations, following the Cornell University case in which a woman alleged she was drugged and gang raped by fraternity members in 2024.
