On Sunday, West Texas A&M University Police was made aware of two alleged sexual assaults that occurred at 2522 4th Avenue, the designated address for the Sigma Nu Fraternity.
The alleged incidents were reported to the Canyon Police Department and are believed to be independent of each other and reported to have occurred on April 9.
The victims are West Texas A&M University students.
The incidents have been reported to the WTAMU Title IX Coordinator and University and area resources are being made available to the victims.
Sexual assault is never the fault of the victim. While nothing is failsafe, here are some suggestions everyone may want to consider:
- Make sure you have consent. Consent is a clear and freely given yes, not the absence of a no.
- People who are incapacitated by alcohol or drugs cannot give consent.
- Practice being assertive about your boundaries.
- Trust your instincts. If you feel uneasy or sense something is
- wrong, call for assistance.
- Be active in supporting a safe and respectful community. If you
- see others engaging in disrespectful or inappropriate actions, speak up and get involved, or contact someone else to assist.
