On Oct. 30, a rape was reported to have taken place in Moreland Hall, according to the SUNY Police at Oswego Daily Report.
University Police Chief John Rossi said the sexual assault took place at 12:23 a.m.
Oswego State President Deborah Stanley sent out a campus-wide email regarding the assault at 5:19 p.m. the same day.
“A sexual assault has been reported to have occurred in a residence hall on campus this weekend,” Stanley said in the email. “University Police and our Title IX Office have opened an investigation into the matter and will continue to seek information. At this time, no criminal complaint and no charges have been filed nor has an arrest been made. University Police immediately and carefully assessed the situation and does not believe the facts involve a threat to the safety and security of our campus community.”
Since the incident is still under investigation, it is not known if drugs or alcohol were involved in the assault, nor whether the victim or accused are Oswego State students. It is not known if either party is still on campus.
According to Rossi, there have been three sexual assaults reported to University Police this semester.
