Hanover Police responds to sexual assault case

An unidentified male entered the residence hall room of a female student, pushed the student down and removed her pants at approximately 10:15 p.m. on Sunday, according to a campus-wide e-mail sent by Director of Safety and Security and College Proctor Harry Kinne.

When the female student yelled and kicked, the perpetrator immediately fled, according to the e-mail. Safety and Security and Hanover Police arrived at the scene.

Both Safety and Security and Hanover Police will investigate the incident.

The perpetrator is described in the e-mail as college-aged, "approximately six feet tall" and of an average build.
