Ithaca College is investigating a report that a male, not enrolled at the college, sexually assaulted a female student before midnight Feb. 28 in a Circle Apartment, according to Dave Maley, associate director of the Office of Media Relations.

The incident occurred in the room of the male college student with whom the alleged perpetrator was visiting. The student will not be judicially charged, Maley said.

The female student has declined to press charges, Maley said.

The college learned of the incident on April 6 when an outside party reported some information, Maley said. The Office of Public Safety then followed up with the victim April 10. The college originally classified the incident as “criminal intelligence,” but reclassified it to rape third degree. Maley said he could not discuss what particular section of penal law classified the crime as third degree.

Maley could not confirm that the victim knew the alleged perpetrator and did not know if the victim sought a rape kit following the incident.

The alleged perpetrator has been banned from campus with a criminal trespass waiver, which will allow the college to arrest him for trespassing.
