UPDATE: USC Student Was Drunk But Not Raped


LAPD concluded that no crime was committed in the possible rape being investigated early this morning on USC's University Park Campus.

We have no crime," said Los Angeles Police Department Officer April Harding of the Media Relations office. "The woman was interviewed and she admitted she was drinking and passed out. She was not raped." -- Fox

Campus police found the woman half-naked and unconscious in a basement classroom of the Social Sciences Building, which is open 24 hours during finals study days and exams. LAPD closed the investigation this afternoon after detectives spoke with the woman at the hospital.

this is the best news ive heard all day

thanks for the update!

 

sorry guys, next time i decide to bone down with a random dude, i'll keep it in the frat house

 

I'm definitely submitting this post to the Press Club awards committee in the "best headline" category.

 

If you can't hold your liquor don't drink. Sheesh!

 

here here, glad to hear that she was not raped. this mornings story left a very disturbing image. thanks for the update!

 

technically you can't graduate from USC without passing out in the basement of a campus building. That or having sex in the Doheny library stacks; choose your poison.

I dont mean to joke, though. Great news.
