Still waiting for statement from president Brodhead... (probably no need for an official report under the Clery Act since this was not on campus, and didn't involve a student...) |

Bad reporting or bad behavior? WITNESSES said the female technician was followed into the bathroom? SOMEONE SAW HER BEING FOLLOWED? Or they weren't 'witnesses', just someone telling a story they had been told . . . ? Edited by MikeKell, Sep 22 2015, 09:43 AM.

Employee attacked in Duke hospital bathroom Posted 5:37 p.m. yesterday Updated 6:37 p.m. yesterday Durham, N.C. — A female employee was attacked in a Duke University Hospital early Sunday, but hospital workers say administrators didn't notify them of the assault until Monday. The attack occurred at about 6 a.m. Sunday in a visitor bathroom on the ninth floor of the hospital. Witnesses said the female technician was followed into the bathroom after completing a procedure and was choked, shoved to the ground and sexually assaulted. She was bleeding and nearly unable to walk and was eventually loaded onto a stretcher and taken to the emergency room for treatment, witnesses said. Word filtered out to staff throughout Duke Hospital to be on the lookout for a 5-foot-5 man with a dark complexion and dreadlocks who was wearing red shorts and a white tank top. Employees criticized hospital administrators for not issuing an alert or placing the hospital on lockdown, even as hospital security and Durham police scoured the building for the attacker. "(We didn't know) what happened or who it was or if they had any information to who we should be looking out for," said a woman who works at Duke Hospital who didn't want to be identified. "If you don't know who you're looking out for, you're just nervous of everybody." She said she learned of the attack from other workers when she began her Sunday night shift. "It was kind of a different mood because you didn’t know who knew and who didn’t know," she said. Security guards would answer worker questions – but only if asked directly – and were told not to offer any additional information to staff or patients, workers said. A Duke Hospital spokesman said an on-site administrator visited each unit on Sunday morning and alerted nursing leadership of the attack, but workers said they were never notified. He declined to comment on why an alert wasn't issued or patients notified. Hospital President Keven Sowers sent a memo to hospital administrators at 7 p.m. Sunday – about 13 hours after the attack – which characterized the incident as an employee "being shoved to the ground" and not as a sex assault. "We are cooperating with the police as we continue our investigation. Security plans are in place," Sowers said in the four-sentence memo. Hospital workers said they didn't receive a copy of that memo until Monday morning. "I’m just not sure why they wouldn’t tell employees that an employee was attacked because a lot of us walk around the hospital all night by yourself," the woman who works at Duke Hospital said. The attacker remains at large. Read more at http://www.wral.com/employee-attacked-in-duke-hospital-bathroom/14916779/#4fApKAt5QY9jMcFg.99 |

http://www.beckershospitalreview.com/news-and-analysis/employee-attacked-in-duke-hospital-bathroom.html Word traveled among staff to look out for a 5-foot-5 man with a dark complexion and dreadlocks dressed in red shorts and a white tank top, but workers criticized the hospital's administrators for not issuing an official alert or placing the hospital on lockdown. Hospital security and Durham police searched the building for the assailant, but as of 6:37 p.m. Sept. 21, he remains at large. "dark complexion and dreadlocks" ? Maybe the person had just been in a tanning booth? Now, I see the reason for the radio silence. Edited by MikeZPU, Sep 22 2015, 03:04 PM.

http://www.dukechronicle.com/article/2015/09/hospital-employee-not-victim-of-sexual-assault-admins-say Hospital employee not victim of sexual assault, admins say By Amrith Ramkumar | Tuesday, September 22 A WRAL report stated that a Duke Hospital employee was sexually assaulted Sunday morning, but multiple administrators said Tuesday that the report was incorrect. The WRAL story cites anonymous witnesses, who said that the employee was "choked, shoved to the ground and sexually assaulted." Michael Schoenfeld, vice president for government affairs and public relations, and Sarah Avery, media relations officer for The School of Medicine, said Tuesday afternoon that the report of sexual assault was inaccurate. Schoenfeld noted that the reason no message was reported to students, faculty and staff under the Clery Act—which requires colleges and universities to provide timely notification to members of the university community of certain crimes reported on campus—was that the crime did not meet the criteria to be sent to the entire University community. The official statement released by The School of Medicine notes that the employee reported Sunday morning at approximately 6 a.m. that "an unknown person put his arm around the employee's neck and shoved the employee to the ground. Duke Police were immediately on the scene with additional security and continue to investigate the incident in close collaboration with the Durham Police Department." The suspect is described as a 5-foot-5 male with dark complexion, and was wearing red shorts and a white tank top. According to the statement, site administrators updated staff within the hospital later Sunday morning and nursing leadership were made aware of what was known to employees. Monday evening, hospital directors and managers received an update on the situation. Avery said that no other further information could be provided at this time. Check back for updates on this developing story. |

He wasn't a member of a Frat, so therefore no sexual assault. |

Added: Vice President of Administration Kyle Cavanaugh declined to comment on the criteria used to determine whether or not to send information to students, faculty and staff. |

. That is assault, at a minimum. So the woman did not go to the Emergency room - and did not receive Medical attention? They are being coy with the information. . |
