On Sunday afternoon, a father called the Boston University Police Department to report that his daughter, while visiting from out of town to see her boyfriend in Warren Towers, was sexually assaulted over the weekend, according to BUPD crime logs sent to The Daily Free Press.
The victim was back in New York by the time the report was made around 3 p.m., the police log stated. The incident is currently under investigation, and officers secured the room in 700 Commonwealth Ave., BU’s largest dormitory, as a crime scene.
After receiving the report, the university issued a campus-wide emergency alert to inform students that a sexual assault occurred in Warren Towers early Sunday morning. The alert stated that the suspect is unknown and no description is available, The Daily Free Press reported on Oct. 23.
BU spokesperson Colin Riley said that BUPD is actively investigating the evidence, conducting interviews and reviewing video footage to find the suspect.
