Interviews with attendees of the October 10 party at the Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity house provide new insight into the events leading up to the sexual assault of a 21-year-old non-student reported the following morning.
Multiple sources confirmed the identity of an individual named in social media posts as the perpetrator of a Sunday morning sexual assault at the Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity house in Hyde Park.
A video posted on TikTok Monday night and verified by the Maroon shows an individual matching police descriptions of a suspect being accused of committing sexual assault.
Alpha Epsilon Pi’s Lambda chapter and national organization condemned the incident in separate statements and said they were cooperating with police investigations. The University said it had reported the case to AEPi’s national organization and was investigating separately.
The Chicago Police Department is investigating the assault, which took place early Sunday morning. University officials encouraged anyone with information about the incident or the suspect to contact city or University police.
UChicago may not have a clear “touse” or “bouse,” but its over 30 Greek organizations play a large role in campus life.
