Police at Georgia’s third largest university are looking for four men accused of sexually assaulting a student in a unit at an on-campus apartment complex.

Kennesaw State University police learned of the sexual assault Monday night from a Marietta police officer, officials said Tuesday afternoon in an emailed statement. The student reported the incident to the officer, who was stationed at WellStar Kennestone Hospital.

The student told police the sexual assault occurred between 11:15 p.m. June 21 and 1:20 a.m. June 22 at the Austin Residence Complex, where one of the suspects lives.

At least one of the four men is believed to be a Kennesaw State student, according to an alert from university police.

“It can be assumed that conditions continue to exist that may pose a threat to members and guests of the University community,” police said in the alert. “It is the duty of the institution to warn of possible ‘dangerous conditions’ on or near the campus.”

Kennesaw State president Daniel S. Papp said: “There is no place in our campus community for sexual assault. We take this issue very seriously, and all of our law enforcement resources are being brought to bear to ensure that we get to the bottom of this situation swiftly and accurately.”

Descriptions of the suspects and other details were not immediately available.
