A University of Wisconsin freshman was arrested Friday, Sept. 18, in connection with a sexual assault reported in a university residence hall last weekend.
UW Police Department spokesperson Marc Lovicott said the suspect,18-year-old Charles Wolf, is being held in custody on fourth-degree sexual assault and false imprisonment charges.
The UWPD incident report said the victim was sexually assaulted and held down against her will on Sept. 12. Lovicott said the victim and Wolf knew each other.
