           A student at Worcester State University reported being sexually assaulted at knifepoint on campus last week, authorities said. Officials said there was no description of the attacker by Thursday evening and that no additional assaults have since been reported. Authorities did not say exactly when the attack took place, but it was reported to authorities Wednesday. After learning of the alleged assault, Worcester State sent an alert to the campus community. Because of the sensitivity of the investigation and rape shield laws, the university said no additional information would be released. A Worcester State spokeswoman would not say if the student was injured during the assault. The reported attack is being investigated by campus police and State Police, as well as State Police detectives assigned to the Worcester district attorney’s office.

          Very disturbing to think something so violent was reported so close to where we all live. Also the fact that I will be leaving for college very soon and hearing reports of assaults on campus makes so more nervous to go.  I feel like recently I have heard a lot of these reports, especially in Boston lately.  Hopefully campuses start to step up security and continue to investigate any attacks.  Who ever did this at Worcester State hopefully gets caught and arrested.
