NORMAL – Illinois State University Police are investigating the third sex crime on campus in less than a week.
The latest incident happened at Hancock Stadium during Saturday evening’s ISU football game. ISU Police Chief Aaron Woodruff said a woman, who isn’t an ISU student, said a man forcibly kissed her and groped her in the stands around 8 p.m. Saturday. Another person reported the abuse to Hancock security staff around 8:50 p.m.
Woodruff said investigators are reviewing surveillance video and they haven’t made an arrest.
Police are also investigating a reported sexual assault that happened early Friday morning at Watterson Towers, and an alleged rape that occurred late Tuesday night at Wilkins Hall.
Woodruff said there’s no connection to the three sex crimes, other than they happened on campus so early in the school year.
