Warning: This article contains graphic content relating to sexual assault.

The UC Santa Barbara Police Department issued a timely warning on Oct. 12 for an aggravated sexual assault. The assault occurred at a campus-affiliated property in Isla Vista on Oct. 9 at an unknown time. 

According to the timely warning, multiple individuals prevented the survivor from leaving a room, took her phone and gave her an unknown beverage. The survivor woke up hours later and discovered she had been assaulted, the timely warning stated. The timely warning did not specify the location of the sexual assault and whether or not the drink was drugged. 

It is unknown whether the perpetrators are affiliated with UCSB, the timely warning said.

The difference between sexual assault and aggravated sexual assault lies in intent. If someone had the intention to attack, batter or rape and used violence against an individual, then the sexual assault becomes aggravated.

No–we don’t need police to handle these sort of crimes–who needs police? We can just work this out by holding hands and singing kumbaya music.

Anon, you have to remember, these are people that feel they can self-police themselves. They want to abolish law enforcement in a movement with a misleading name called “defund the police.” It isn’t defunding they want, it is abolisment. The problem is they can’t even control themselves, even when given the autonomy to do so. Trust me, this will keep happening over and over, so will the cries of social injustice and abolishing of law enforcement.
