A sexual assault was reported to the Oxford Police Department (OPD) on Wednesday, Sept. 5 by a female who told OPD she was victimized the previous evening on Tuesday, Sept. 4 at 110 N. Poplar Street by a male she knew.
The report marks the second sexual assault-related offense committed in the city of Oxford within the first two weeks of Miami University's fall semester.
There is no suspect yet, as the report is still part of an ongoing investigation, said OPD's records specialist.
University students who wish to report a sexual assault can contact any campus security enforcement, including MUPD (513-519-2222), OPD (513-523-4321), the Office of Ethics and Student Conflict Resolution (513-529-1417), any academic or student organization adviser as well as athletic coaches.
Sexual assault survivors can contact Sierra Clippinger (513-431-1111), who is Miami's campus-based support specialist from Butler County's office of Women Helping Women. Clippinger is not a mandatory reporter and can provide survivors with additional support and advice.
