UW-Madison student reports sexual assault in residence hall

A UW-Madison student was sexually assaulted by an acquaintance in a Southeast residence hall early Sunday morning, according to a UW-Madison Police Department incident report.

The victim was sleeping when the assailant entered the residence hall room and committed the assault, according to the report.

The victim originally reported the assault to Residence Life Sunday evening, but did not report the incident to UWPD.

UWPD Public Information Officer Marc Lovicott said the department will not be investigating the assault further.

UWPD alerted students about the incident through a timely warning email sent out Monday morning in compliance with the federally mandated Clery Act for campus safety.
