University of Missouri police investigating reported sexual assault

University of Missouri police are investigating after a woman reported being raped on campus.

The 18-year-old student told police it happened around 2:30 a.m. Sunday in College Avenue Hall.

The woman does not live there, and it’s not clear if her alleged attacker does.

“We do know who the other party involved is and we’re working on talking to them to find out what happened,” Captain Brian Weimer said.

Right now, no charges have been filed and the man has not been arrested.

“We’re still talking to both parties as well as working with the prosecutor’s office to determine if charges will be filed,” Weimer said.

A Clery release was not issued because “there was no indication of an immediate threat to the campus community,” according to Weimer.

Six Clery releases reported rapes last year on campus, although MUPD said sexual assaults are often unreported.

Weimer said the woman is now receiving assistance.
