Bars identified in reported sexual assault

MSU police have identified the two local bars visited by a woman who reported she was drugged and sexually assaulted by an acquaintance early Sunday morning.

The 21-year-old woman with no university affiliation joined the suspect Saturday at The Post Bar, 213 Ann St., and then accompanied him to Déjà Vu nightclub, 1000 W. Jolly Road, in Lansing, after The Post Bar closed, MSU police Sgt. Florene McGlothian-Taylor said.

The woman told police the suspect drugged her drink at Déjà Vu, then took her to an unknown MSU residence hall and sexually assaulted her sometime between 4:15 and 8 a.m. Sunday.

The victim met the suspect early last week and agreed to go out for drinks Saturday, McGlothian-Taylor said.

The suspect told the victim he was an out-of-state resident and didn’t attend MSU, McGlothian-Taylor said. She added that the victim was too disoriented to give a full description of the suspect.

Anyone with information regarding the incident is asked to call MSU police at (517) 355-2222.
