Report: Possible Sexual Assault on UVa Student Investigated

A local media report says Charlottesville Police are investigating a possible sexual assault against a female University of Virginia student.

The Charlottesville Daily Progress cited a university statement emailed to students, staff and faculty Wednesday as stating the woman was found unconscious in an apartment in that city Sunday evening and taken to the university's medical center. According to the paper, the statement added the student later had no memory of hours spent with a male acquaintance she met online who had served her alcohol.

The woman's condition wasn't immediately reported.

A Charlottesville Police spokesman didn't immediately return an Associated Press message seeking details.

The paper says the university spokesman, Anthony de Bruyn, had no comment Wednesday night.
