Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 12 Oct, 22:43 · Archive

A 21-year-old woman was allegedly sexually assaulted at a University of Chicago fraternity party.

A 21-year-old woman was allegedly sexually assaulted at a party hosted by the Lambda chapter of Alpha Epsilon Pi (AEPi) fraternity at the University of Chicago in the city's lakeside Hyde Park neighbourhood. The alleged attack occurred around 1:50 a.m., approximately three hours into the Saturday night party, according to The Chicago Maroon student paper. The woman is not a student.

The suspect fled the party after someone intervened. Campus police told the student paper that the suspect was later seen on surveillance footage running from the building.

Jonathan Pierce, chief communications officer for AEPi's national organization, told the paper: 'All of AEPi hurts for the person who was the victim in this incident. No one should attend an event on any campus — fraternity-based or otherwise — and have to fear for their safety and wellbeing.'
