Two University of Missouri students were allegedly raped in the last five days, according to two Clery releases sent out by the University of Missouri Police Department.
The reports come less than a week after the University of Missouri Board of Curators modified rules dealing with how the officials at all four campuses deal with reported Title IX violations and two days before Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Missouri, visits Columbia to talk with university officials about ways to reduce sexual assaults on college campuses.
According to the first Clery release, a female was allegedly raped early on October 3 by an unknown male. The victim was unsure of the exact location of the sexual assault.
The suspect was described as tall, skinny with dark hair and complexion.
According to the second release, another female was raped either late October 2nd or early October 3rd in Schurz Hall by a tall, skinny, white male between 18 and 24 years-old.
MU Police Captain Brian Weimer said there were no updates to either case as of Monday afternoon.
