A sexual assault in a student residence was reported Tuesday evening, according to a Stanford University Department of Public Safety (SUDPS) alert.

The victim, who was female, told a mandatory reporter that she was sexually assaulted by a male perpetrator in a student residence at 700 Block Campus Drive between 1:00 a.m. and 2:00 a.m. on Sunday. The incident occurred after they “consumed alcohol together earlier in the evening,” according to the AlertSU. Further details about the alleged perpetrator’s age, height, weight, race, ethnicity and clothing were not disclosed to SUDPS.

The Daily has reached out to SUDPS for comment. 

According to the alert, the University “does not tolerate” sexual assault, misconduct or harassment and encourages victims to report incidents. Consent from both parties must be obtained before engaging in sexual activity; alcohol or drugs, which may incapacitate one or both parties, are not excuses for assault, the alert states.

The alert encouraged those with any additional details about the crime to contact SUDPS.

Resources for victims are available via the Office of the Provost for Institutional Equity, Access and Community and the SHARE Title IX Office.
