If it’s true, I’m surprised the guy got away with it, because that restroom is in a high-traffic area, especially when it happened on a school day.

Well, wait. It says “this morning,” but then “4 p.m. Friday.”

Holly; my apology. I fixed the wording problem. The rape allegedly occurred last Friday afternoon. But it wasn’t reported until this morning.

I heard about this. My bff emailed me about this right from NIC. She had used that very restroom not minutes before this little episode. Scary…
