The University of New Hampshire is investigating a case of sexual assault on the university’s Durham campus that happened last Monday. The victim alleged they were drugged by the suspect.
“The impacted party described possibly having their drink drugged during the incident,” UNH police said in the news release. “The suspect and impacted party were known to each other.”
