Police Investigate An 'Acquaintance Rape'
The Harvard University Police is investigating an alleged acquaintance rape that occurred in a first-year dorm. Harvard Police confirmed the investigation but withheld details, noting that no arrest has been made. The term "acquaintance rape" indicates the suspect was known to the victim. The incident adds to the rising number of reported forcible sex offenses at Harvard, which increased from 11 in both 1998 and 1999 to 16 in the previous year. In November 2000, another sexual assault was reported in a first-year dorm.| Creator |
