Sexual Assault Under Investigation At UT-Austin: Police

AUSTIN, TX — Police at the University of Texas at Austin are investigating a sexual assault at the school's Jester Dormitory.

Police said the assault occurred around 1 a.m. on Saturday. The assault was categorized as a "non-stranger" sexual assault, meaning the alleged perpetrator was known to the victim.

"The most common type of sexual assault is perpetrated by someone the victim knows, not by a stranger," police said in a statement. "Consent is enthusiastic agreement required by all and can be revoked at any time. Sexual activity requires consciousness and clarity.

"Don’t feel obligated to do anything you don’t want to do. "I don’t want to" is always a good enough reason."

Police also provided a link to resources available to victims.
