The UW-Madison Police Department sent a crime notice Sunday alerting students to a sexual assault on campus. The reported assault occurred early Sunday morning in a university residence hall.
No charges are currently being pressed and the assault was not reported directly to UWPD, so the department is not investigating it at this time, according to the warning.
Sunday’s incident was the fourth sexual assault reported at UW-Madison in the last 60 days, according to the UWPD Clery Crime and Fire Log.
Passed in 1990, the Clery Act requires all colleges and universities that receive federal funding to inform the public of crimes that happen on or around campus in a timely manner.
In compliance with the law, UWPD sends out crime warning emails to all students along with a list of suggestions to avoid sexual assault.
