Two weeks ago, campus community members received a crime alert email from the Notre Dame Police Department detailing a reported rape on campus. NDPD shared that a female victim reported on Tuesday, Oct. 28 that she had been raped in a Jordan Hall of Science bathroom by an unknown perpetrator.
In an email to The Observer Tuesday, university spokesperson Erin Blasko said the University does not have an update on the crime alert at this time.
At the time of the crime alert, the University shared that the suspect was described as male, but no further details were available. Notre Dame encouraged community members with knowledge of the reported sexual assault to contact the Office of Institutional Equity at 574-631-0444 or equity@nd.edu.
NDPD is working alongside the Office of Institutional Equity to address the report. NDPD did not respond to a request for comment on the crime alert.
In April, Blasko wrote in an email to The Observer that NDPD only sends out crime alerts when “there is an ongoing threat to the University community, and the report is sufficiently timely such that a warning will aid in the prevention of similar crimes.”
