The incident was reported to campus police on Wednesday evening. According to the statement, authorities say the woman first met and spoke with the alleged suspect during the party, and that they went together to the suspect’s fraternity house bedroom.

In the bedroom, the woman said she “made clear that she did not want to have sex” and that the alleged suspect then raped her, according to the police statement, which said the woman reported having left the room immediately afterwards.
