A warning alert went out to Penn State students in State College about three separate sexual assaults reported in dorms this weekend.

As WJAC-TV reports, Penn State campus police are investigating three separate sexual assaults that occurred early Saturday morning — including an alleged attack in a women’s restroom.

Police say the first assault occurred sometime between midnight and 1 a.m., at the Nittany Apartments Residence Complex. Authorities say this was reported just before 2 a.m. and that it is believed that the victim knew the offender.

The second assault reportedly occurred in the first-floor women’s restroom of Johnston Commons, located inside the East Halls Dormitory, between 12:45 a.m. and 1:15 a.m. This assault was reported by an anonymous, third-party source, around 4 a.m., and that it is believed that the victim did not know the offender.

The third assault also occurred at the East Halls Residence Complex, between 2 a.m. and 4:45 a.m., by an offender known to the victim. Police say the assault was reported around 5:30 a.m.

Anyone with information is asked to contact campus police at 814-863-1111.
