The UW-Madison Police Department is currently investigating a reported sexual assault that occurred in a Lakeshore residence hall early Saturday morning.
Though police have identified a suspect, the investigation is ongoing and the individual’s identity has not yet been released, according to a UWPD incident report.
UW-Madison students were made aware of the sexual assault through an email sent out in accordance with the Clery Act. This federal act requires universities to disclose instances of violence and other criminal behavior that may pose a threat to students in an effort to provide crime information relevant to the campus in a timely manner.
UW-Madison would like to remind students who may have been victims of sexual assault that there are numerous support resources available on campus.
Additionally, all those with relevant information regarding this or any other crime on campus are encouraged to contact UWPD at (608) 264-COPS.
