A warrant has been issued for the arrest of two male suspects in connection with a forcible rape of a female student in Sierra Halls this January.

The rape occurred between Jan. 15 and Jan. 20 in the Sacramento State residence halls, but was not reported to police officials until March 30, according to John Hamrick, public information officer for Campus Police.

“The victim contacted a counselor at WEAVE (Women Escaping a Violent Environment), who encouraged her to contact police,” the police report stated.

Police officials did not know why the victim waited to report the incident.

The female victim knew the suspects, and provided their names to Campus Police. Officers positively identified two suspects, but declined to name them.

“We forwarded the case to the district attorney?s office, requesting a warrant to be issued for the arrests of both suspects,” Hamrick said.

The request was submitted April 4, and as of Monday, the warrant had not yet been issued.
