Three sexual assaults reported at Utah State University in one night

Utah State University police are investigating after three people reported being sexually assaulted on the school’s campus Friday night.

One individual reported they were raped, and two others reported they were groped, USU spokesman Tim Vitale said. He didn’t release where on campus the assaults were alleged to have occurred, nor whether the victims or the accused were students.

Vitale said police are investigating if any of the assaults were connected to the Halloween Howl event held on campus Friday night, which brought approximately 6,000 people to the university. He added that 40 police officers staffed the event, in addition to 150 trained student volunteers.
