亚利桑那州立大学在一名女学生指控两名男子在8月于该兄弟会会所内对她实施性侵后,暂停了该兄弟会的活动。

MIKELLA SCHUETTLER The University of Arizona has suspended a fraternity’s activities after a female student alleged two men sexually assaulted her at the fraternity’s house in August.

这所位于亚利桑那州南部的大学的Sigma Phi Epsilon分会此前已处于观察期,但校方表示现已实施活动暂停,称该兄弟会对大学社区构成风险。对指控的调查仍在继续。

The Sigma Phi Epsilon chapter at the southern Arizona school was already on probation, but the university said it has now imposed an activities suspension, stating the fraternity poses a risk to the university community. An investigation into the allegations continues.

学生事务副院长Whitney Mohr在周三发给该兄弟会的一封信中表示:“经认定,贵组织对大学社区成员构成重大风险。”

“It has been determined that your organization presents a substantial risk to members of the university community,” said Associate Dean of Students Whitney Mohr in a letter sent to the fraternity on Wednesday.

当地分会未回应电话或邮件,但全国兄弟会组织表示,已命令亚利桑那分会成员配合任何调查。

The local chapter did not respond to calls or emails, but the national fraternity organization said it had ordered members of the Arizona chapter to comply with any investigation.

Sigma Phi Epsilon首席执行官Brian Warren在周二的一份声明中说:“Sigma Phi Epsilon不容忍性侵或性不端行为。在调查进行期间,兄弟会已暂停涉事人员的职务。”声明未详细说明涉事人员的身份或其与兄弟会的关系。

“Sigma Phi Epsilon does not tolerate sexual assault or sexual misconduct. The Fraternity has suspended those involved while the investigation proceeds,” Brian Warren, chief executive officer of Sigma Phi Epsilon, said in a statement Tuesday. It didn’t elaborate on the identities of those involved or their connection to the fraternity.

根据日期为9月9日的搜查令记录,图森市KOLD-TV电视台于周一晚发布了该记录。记录显示,该女学生告诉调查人员,她在8月26日晚自愿与一名男子接吻并饮酒,但随后在兄弟会会所醒来时发现有两名男子正在对她实施性侵。

The female student told investigators that she consensually kissed a man and was drinking on the night of Aug. 26, but then woke up to two men sexually assaulting her in the fraternity house, according to search warrant records dated Sept. 9 and published Monday night by KOLD-TV in Tucson.

根据记录,她告诉警方,她记得感觉到一名男子的呼吸喷在脸上,第二天早上因疑似勒颈而吞咽困难。文件还包含了被指控者的体貌特征。第二天,她向警方报案并在医院接受了法医检查。

She told police she remembers feeling one man’s breath on her face and had trouble swallowing the next morning due to possible strangulation, according to the records. The documents also included physical descriptions of the accused. The next day, she reported the incident to police and underwent a forensic exam at a hospital.

在本周媒体对这些指控的报道之后,该校根据副校长的通知,暂时停止了 Sigma Phi Epsilon 学生社团的所有活动。根据该通知,该社团在案件解决之前不得举办、参加或赞助任何形式的组织活动。

Following media coverage of the allegations this week, the university placed Sigma Phi Epsilon on activities suspension, which prohibits the chapter from hosting, attending, participating in, and sponsoring any organizational activities until the case is settled, according to the associate dean’s letter.

通知中还指出,Sigma Phi Epsilon 的成员涉嫌在 8 月 26 日(即涉嫌袭击事件发生的当晚)以及 9 月 29 日向未成年人提供酒精饮料。此前,由于该社团存在欺凌行为,该校已对该社团发出过警告,并要求其缴纳罚款。负责申请搜查令的亚利桑那大学警察部门表示,调查仍在进行中。

The letter also accuses Sigma Phi Epsilon members of providing alcohol to minors on Aug. 26, the night of the alleged assault, and on Sept. 29. The fraternity was previously placed on probation, a conditional warning that included fines, following allegations of hazing in July. The University of Arizona Police Department, which filed the search warrant, said on Tuesday that the investigation was ongoing.

这所位于图森市的大学一直致力于打击违反校规校纪的兄弟会活动。本月早些时候,由于接到关于袭击、欺凌以及与毒品和酒精相关的行为的举报,学校暂停了 21 个兄弟会的活动;目前仅有 5 个兄弟会的活动仍处于暂停状态。

The Tucson-based university has attempted to crack down on Greek-life activities that violate the code of conduct. Earlier this month, the adminstration suspended activities for 21 fraternities amid reports of assault, hazing and drug- and alcohol-related behavior. Only five fraternities remain suspended.

根据副校长的通知,Sigma Phi Epsilon 的成员被禁止与涉嫌受害者的家属联系;任何报复或恐吓行为都可能导致进一步的调查,并带来更严厉的后果。皮马县检察官办公室周二表示,该案件尚未被移送检察机关。

Sigma Phi Epsilon members are prohibited from contacting the alleged victim or her family, according to the associate dean’s letter, and any accusations of retribution or intimidation could result in an additional investigation and harsher consequences. The Pima County Attorney’s Office on Tuesday said the case hasn’t been referred to prosecutors yet.
