A woman was drugged and sexually assaulted on UO’s campus on the night of Jan. 17. She is not affiliated with the university.
Campus was notified of this incident Wednesday evening in a campus crime alert e-mail.
According to the email, the crime took place at a private social gathering in Watson Hall, a section of Hamilton Complex. A person attempted to drug the woman by injesting a substance. Attempting to make a person consume any substance without their consent is considered aggravated assault, which is a felony crime, according to the e-mail.
Kelly McIver, communications director for the UOPD, said that there is no further information for this case and an investigation is currently underway. Anyone with information relating to the crime should call UOPD Detective Sergeant Kathy Flynn at 541-346-9694.
