Student "cries wolf" on sexual assualt

Blurb- Alleged sexual assault turns out to be a fake

Early Tuesday morning around 1:00 a.m. a sexual assault was reported by a student. The report said that a unidentified male had climbed through an open window in Stonehenge. There was no details of what the suspect looked like or any witnesses. After investigating further the report turned out to be false.

When the call went out tuesday night Public safety responded immediately. They sent out two officers, two student officers and contacted the RHD on duty. The state police were also notified and they sent three officers and a canine to search the area. They also sent four detectives to start the investigation.

After being investigated by the police the report was confirmed as false. President Carol Moore promptly sent out an e-mail to assure everyone that there was no assault and the campus was secure. Director of public safety George Hacking confirmed this and went on to say that charges would be filed against the student.

Hacking felt that students should know the report was false and that, " we are as safe today as we were before the report came in."  He went on to say that public safety knows there are ways to get into the buildings if you really want to. He also said that it then becomes students responsibilities to shut and lock windows and doors.

Public safety will be stepping up their patrols of Stonehenge and are trying to learn from the incident. They would like anyone that sees someone prop open the door or leave a window open to report them.
