The Durham Police Department is now investigating an allegation that a female Duke student was raped early Sunday morning at a party attended by other Duke students, the University said in a statement Sunday night.
Police reported the alleged sexual assault took place at 405 Gattis St.
Larry Moneta, vice president for student affairs, was unable to confirm the details or circumstances of the alleged assault, but told The Chronicle that the female student was "being cared for."
An 18-year-old woman told officers that she was raped in a bathroom around 3 a.m. and that there were about 50 people at the party. Police said the suspect is described as a black male in his late teens or early 20s, about 6-foot-1 and was wearing a black doo-rag, gray sweatshirt and blue jeans.
No charges have been filed in the case, police said.
