STORRS, Conn. (AP) — University of Connecticut police say a report that a group of men struck a woman with a skateboard and sexually assaulted her is false.
Police say they investigated the report of the alleged attack early Saturday at Storrs campus and learned the incident did not occur and the person who made the complaint "falsely reported the assault."
They say on their website that after receiving the report, they issued an alert warning through the university's emergency alert notification system. Detectives reviewed security camera footage and conducted interviews with the person who made the complaint. They did not say if charges would be filed.
