USC Brotherhood Suspended on Sexual Assault and Rape Allegations – NBC Los Angeles

A USC fraternity has been suspended after reports of sexual assault and drugs in drinks at a party that may have led to drug-related sexual assault, the university said.

The Sigma Nu fraternity on West 28th Street has been suspended according to a campus crime alert.

The university has also received reports of drugs being put into drinks during a party at the same fraternity house.

The council says everyone is innocent until proven guilty, but many admit that prosecutors only bring such cases if they have evidence. Conan Nolan reports October 14, 2021.

The suspension states that the Brotherhood “may not host or organize any social or other activities, and no parties or other social gatherings may be held in the Sigma Nu House.”

The incidents occurred on October 15 and 16 and were reported to police at 2 a.m. on October 16, according to a LAPD crime report.

The 19-year-old USC student said she knew the attacker and said the encounter began “as a friendly encounter in a sense,” the report said.

She told police that she had been forced to have oral sex and that she was further attacked against her will, according to the report.
