Alleged assault follows report of gang-rape at frat house at Cornell, which ignited national uproar and criticism online
A 21-year-old woman reported being sexually assaulted last weekend at a fraternity house near the University of Chicago, as Greek life nationwide faces renewed scrutiny for recurrent misconduct.
The incident allegedly took place on Sunday at about 1.50am at the off-campus Alpha Epsilon Pi residence, according to a university daily crime log.
The University of Chicago said the suspect and victim were not students at the school. But the accusation drew scrutiny after revelations of a reported gang rape at Cornell University in New York.
