A female student reported that two men sexually assaulted her in John Quincy Adams Dormitory at around 6 a.m. on Sunday morning.

The woman stated that on her way back from the bathroom, two men hanging around in the hallway pushed her into her dorm room. Allegedly, one of them held her down while the other sexually assaulted her. The men fled the room when she began screaming, according to a University of Massachusetts police safety alert.

The student called a friend who in turn called UMass police. The victim was treated at Cooley Dickinson Hospital in Northampton and released.

Police searched the area surrounding JQA and interviewed several potential witnesses.

The first suspect is reported to be a tall white male with dark hair. He is “Italian looking” and has a Boston accent.

The second suspect is a blonde male shorter than the first suspect. He was wearing light-colored pants during the time of the alleged assault.

UMPD spokesman Jim Lyons said police are actively investigating the case. Anyone with information on the incident is encouraged to contact UMass police through their anonymous tips hotline, 577-8477, or through their website, www.umass.edu/umpd.

More information will be released to the public as the police investigate, Lyons said.

The assault comes on the heels of another reported rape that took place outside of the Fine Arts Center on April 18. In that case, three men allegedly sexually assaulted a woman at around 10 p.m. That incident is still under investigation by UMass police.

Two students reported that they were assaulted outside of the “maze” near McGuirk Alumni Stadium on October 22.

The University provides several resources to help victims cope with sexual assault. The Everywoman’s Center in Nelson House offers 24-hour counseling with a rape hotline at 545-0800. The UMass police department also offers a 24-hour hotline at 545-2677 that can be used as a steppingstone to refer victims who request help to counselors, officers, or other professionals.
