The UTA Police Department issued a safety bulletin email Thursday, relating to two reported sexual assault incidents that happened on campus. <\/p>\n
The alleged incidents were reported to have occurred on or around Sept. 15 in West Hall, according to the email. The reporting party alleged that a second assault occurred shortly after the first in a dorm restroom. <\/p>\n
According to the email, the reporting student knows the alleged offender, but they have not provided the offender\u2019s identity to campus police at the time of the email being sent. <\/p>\n
UTA Police Capt. Dean Peterson said in an email that the incidents were reported to a campus security authority outside of the police department. The reporting individual has not filed a report with UTA PD as of Thursday evening. <\/p>\n
UTA Police said they believe the alleged offender is a student who resides in the dorm, according to the email. <\/p>\n
The safety bulletin also reminded the campus community that consent must be voluntary, ongoing and can be withdrawn at any time. <\/p>\n
Consent cannot be inferred from being in a prior relationship, agreeing to spend time with someone, entering or remaining in another person’s residence, or previously engaging in sexual activity, the email said. <\/p>\n
