POLICE INVESTIGATING TWO SEXUAL ASSAULTS
Two sexual assaults involving Temple students were reported on Main Campus in the last three weeks.
A female student reported an incident Aug. 21 that occurred in May 2013 involving her partner in Elmira Jeffries, an apartment complex on 15th Street near Jefferson. The male suspect was implicated in January for an incident involving an “abusive relationship,” Capt. Edward Woltemate of the Investigations Unit said.
Executive Director of Campus Safety Services Charlie Leone said the second incident, which occurred Aug. 23, involved a reported sexual assault of a female student by a male student.
The man called police while having intercourse with the woman because she was feeling ill from intoxication, Leone said. After recovering, she reported the sexual assault. Leone said no charges have been filed, and the investigation is still ongoing.
