Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 20 Oct, 03:02 · Archive

A University of Arizona fraternity already under investigation for hazing now faces a rape allegation following an incident in August.

A woman alleges she was sexually assaulted at the Sigma Phi Epsilon house at the University of Arizona either late on 25 August or early on 26 August. The alleged victim told police she was at the house with friends and at least two fraternity members. She said she woke in a dark room without underwear or trousers with two men in the room having sex with her. She said she thought she told them to 'please stop' but was later unsure, and did not remember consenting or being asked for consent.

The woman said she later woke again with one of the men, both naked. She walked back to her sorority with him and called her mother when she arrived. She reported the incident to the University of Arizona Police Department about five hours later and was taken to hospital for a sexual assault forensic examination. Results of the test supported some of her allegations.

The fraternity was already in trouble over alleged hazing before this allegation emerged.
