She made the report in the early hours of Sunday, the university said.The New York Times interviewed one woman, Mia Lara, a 21-year-old student at a nearby university, who said she witnessed her friend sitting on the floor, slumped against the wall with her clothes and undergarments pulled down.She told the Times her friend began saying, “Make it stop” and “Get me out of here.” Lara told the Times she began screaming and the man fled.
“This is deeply concerning for the University community,” the school said in a statement.“The safety and well-being of our students and all who come to our community is our highest priority.”The Chicago Police Department said no arrests have been made and that no further information was available.The university said the woman was taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center and that university police immediately contacted the Chicago Police Department.For SubscribersFOR SUBSCRIBERSMicrosoft’s CEO wants AI agents on your PC.
