Story summary

A 21-year-old woman reported being sexually assaulted at around 1:50 AM on Sunday in a bathroom at an Alpha Epsilon Pi (AEPi) fraternity house near the University of Chicago campus. The alleged assailant fled after a bystander intervened. Neither the victim nor the suspect are students or affiliates of the university. Surveillance footage and witness statements identified a person of interest, described as a South Asian male with black curly hair and wearing black joggers and white shoes; this individual has been banned from campus but no charges have been filed yet. During the incident, a group of men reportedly cheered outside the bathroom where the assault was taking place, chanting provocative remarks like "When’s it my turn?" The fraternity chapter is cooperating with law enforcement and has been instructed not to hold any events until further notice.
