      "verbatimText": "UC SAN DIEGO POLICE DEPARTMENT\n\nOctober 17, 2025\n\nALL ACADEMICS, STAFF, AND STUDENTS AT UC SAN DIEGO\n\nContent Warning:\n\nThis timely warning includes descriptions of sexual violence. This information is being shared so that you can make informed decisions about your safety. We encourage all community members to care for their needs and well-being while reading this message, especially those impacted by similar forms of violence. Contact information for campus support resources can be found at the end of this notice.\n\nTimely Warning - Sexual Assault Known Perpetrator\n\nThe UC San Diego Police Department received a report that an individual was sexually battered by an acquaintance who is affiliated with the University at Thurgood Marshall College late on the night of September 26, 2025 or early on the morning of September 27, 2025.  Further investigation has revealed that alcohol or other drugs may have been used to facilitate this assault.\n\nAt this time, the suspect is not in custody.\n\nThe report is currently under investigation by the UC San Diego Police Department.\n\nIf you have information that could be helpful in this investigation, please call the UC San Diego Police Department at (858) 534-4357 or submit an online tip at https://police.ucsd.edu/services/anonymous.html.  UC San Diego does not tolerate sexual assault, sexual misconduct, relationship violence or sexual harassment.\n\n.The remainder of this message provides general information about preventing and reporting a sexual assault and is not necessarily related to this incident.\n\nSexual assaults are never the fault of the survivor and keeping UC San Diego safe is everyone’s responsibility.\n\nReceive affirmative consent before engaging in sexual activity. Consent is voluntary and it must be given without coercion, force, threats, or intimidation and can be withdrawn at any time.\n\nPerpetrators may attempt to use alcohol and/or drugs to facilitate a sexual assault. Alcohol or drugs are never an excuse for choosing to violate another person.\n\nSeveral drugs may be added to beverages that may alter the consciousness or incapacitate a person without their knowledge. Drugs and alcohol can produce amnesia, leaving a victim unclear about what occurred afterward. These drugs can be used for criminal activity like sexual misconduct or sexual assault.\n\nIgnorance of the law or of University policy is never a defense.\n\nYou can help stop sexual assaults by identifying common behaviors that often precede sexual assault, and taking action if you see those behaviors happening. Recognizable red flags include seeing someone who is:trying to separate an intoxicated individual from their friends;\n\npersistently pursuing an individual even when they make it clear they are not interested; or\n\nusing threats of violence to force an individual to do something they do not want to do.\n\nYou can help by trying to connect someone at risk with their friends or by calling a Community Service Officer (CSO) to escort that person home.\n\nSurvivor Support & Other Resources\n\nSurvivors of sexual violence are encouraged to seek confidential support at UC San Diego’s CARE at the Sexual Assault Resource Center (CARE at SARC). CARE advocates are available 24 hours a day at (858) 534-5793. Visit https://care.ucsd.edu.\n\nThe Office for the Prevention of Harassment & Discrimination serves as the non-confidential Title IX office at UC San Diego. Reporting options can be found at https://ophd.ucsd.edu.\n\nWhat is this Notice?\n\nThis notice is being provided to you to comply with the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act. Timely Warnings are intended to prevent similar crimes and to provide information that will assist community members in protecting themselves.\n\nSexual assaults are classified as rape or fondling in the crime statistics in the University’s Annual Security and Fire Safety Report.\n\nUniversity of California San Diego, 9500 Gilman Drive, La Jolla, CA, 92093",
