The man accused of sexually assaulting a 21-year-old woman near the University of Chicago last weekend has been described as a “South Asian male”. The University of Chicago announced on Tuesday that the man has been identified as a “person of interest” in the investigation and has been barred from campus. He is not a student at the university, they said.

His name has not been released. This description was provided to the Chicago Police Department and University of Chicago Police Department. No arrest has been made so far and the man is not in custody.
“Since the CPD investigation is still active and charges have not been filed, the University is not at liberty to disclose the name of the person of interest,” the University of Chicago said.
What is the sexual assault case about?
The woman reported the assault to police and went to a hospital for treatment, according to Chicago police. A 21-year-old woman has alleged that she was sexually assaulted at a fraternity house near the University of Chicago campus on Sunday, October 11.
The Chicago Sun-Times, citing the police report, said the woman told police she had been drinking and dancing at the party before she began feeling unwell. Shortly afterwards, two of the woman’s friends found her “not fully conscious” in a bathroom with a man.
