On April 16, 2014 a student reported to University of Iowa staff that in the fall semester of 2013 she was sexually assaulted by an acquaintance at an on campus residence hall. The student and the acquaintance were attending an off campus party together and the acquaintance gave the student a drink; she has no memory after consuming the drink. The student woke up the next morning with the acquaintance in the student’s room and she stated she was sexually assaulted while incapacitated. The student also received information that the same acquaintance has committed another sexual assault in the spring semester of 2014. The second victim has not reported the incident to University officials.
