The following letter was sent to College of the Canyons students by administrators Wednesday:
This is a warning regarding an alleged crime committed on campus.
Per Board Policy and Procedures 3515 – Reporting of Crimes, we are writing with this “timely warning.”
It has come to our attention that earlier today a male student allegedly coerced or forced a female student into a sexual act against her will. The College of the Canyons Campus Safety Department is issuing this warning to make you aware of the incident and to better enable you to protect yourself while it continues to investigate this incident.
Here are the specifics of the incident:
The alleged perpetrator, a student, approached a female acquaintance, also a student, and allegedly coerced her into going with him to a secluded location in a campus building. When they were alone, he assaulted her. The accused student has been identified and removed from the campus community. He has been ordered to stay away from the college and all college events until the case has been completely resolved.
Here is what you should do:
Be cautious about who you are alone with, especially in secluded rooms or buildings. Do not accompany someone who you do not know well to a secluded place. Please report all suspicious activity or persons to Campus Safety or call 911. Community members should be vigilant while walking throughout campus and surrounding areas both during the day and at night and should take the appropriate precautions, such as walking with others whenever possible, or utilize the Campus Escort Service.
If you have been a victim of a similar crime, please seek assistance from Campus Safety. Remember, be aware of your surroundings, and, if you see something – say something.
Campus Safety phone numbers: 661-362-3229 or 661-510-3882.
Campus Safety is located in X-8.
