The Madison Police Department arrested a 20-year-old University of Wisconsin student Monday evening for multiple charges, one of which includes second degree sexual assault.
Along with the four counts of second degree sexual assault, the suspect Alec Cook is also facing additional tentative charges of strangulation, false imprisonment and three counts of battery, according to the incident report.
The attack took place Oct. 12 in his apartment in the 500 block of Henry Street, MPD spokesperson Joel DeSpain said. Cook and the 20-year-old victim were acquainted prior to the incident.
To protect the safety and identity of the victim, DeSpain said MPD will not disclose whether or not she is a UW student.
