MPD investigates reported sexual assault

The Moscow Police Department is continuing to investigate a reported sexual assault at a University of Idaho fraternity on Jan. 14.
Lt. Dave Lehmitz said officers responded to a report made around 1 a.m. from a UI fraternity when friends of the alleged victim were concerned for his safety after he began behaving erratically.
Reports indicate that the fraternity member had attended a function at another fraternity where he lost consciousness because of intoxication and woke up to find himself being sodomized, then lost consciousness again. The alleged victim awoke again and contacted friends who took him back to his fraternity. When police arrived, the alleged victim was taken to Gritman Medical Center for examination.
Lehmitz said there have been no further developments in the case and police are still interviewing witnesses, who were at the function but not present when the sexual assault is said to have occurred. Lehmitz said no charges have been filed and a suspect has not been identified.
The university has declined comment but is working with MPD on the investigation.
