IOWA CITY — University of Iowa police are investigating a pair of sexual assaults that occurred over the weekend “during the same incident” in an east-side residence hall — attacks that prompting the university to issue its sixth sexual assault-related crime alert of the academic year. The two assaults reportedly took place in the early morning hours of Saturday, and officials reported, “Indications are the assaults were perpetrated by acquaintances.”The message isn’t clear whether the assailants knew each other or the victims or both.“UI Police cannot share any additional details about the incident itself at this time as an investigation is ongoing and federal regulations require police to maintain the confidentiality of the victims, including details of the incident that might identify the victims or compromise their safety,” UI spokeswoman Hayley Bruce told The Gazette.In that vein, the university hasn’t disclosed whether the assaults occurred at a party or gathering, or in what hall they took place.“The UI Police Department only talks to a victim/survivor to gather information about an assailant if the victim/survivor chooses to share that information with police,” Bruce said in an emailed statement.
