Police follow up on reported sexual assault

A 23-year-old woman reported to Bloomington police that she was sexually assaulted in her east side apartment early Saturday morning.

The woman was out with friends at some downtown bars late Friday night, Bloomington Police Department Sgt. Joe Crider said. She left the bar and walked to a friend’s house at about 3 a.m. Saturday.

An unidentified man gave the woman a ride home to her east side apartment. The woman woke around 10 a.m. and thought she had been sexually assaulted.

The woman went to IU Health Bloomington Hospital that day, and the BPD received her report of sexual assault at 9:30 p.m.

Police detectives have interviewed the woman. The case is still under investigation.
