Baylor University fraternity president arrested for sexual assault
Another sexual assault at another big-college fraternity.
The president of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity at Baylor University has been arrested on sexual assault charges.
The Waco Tribune-Herald is reporting that Jacob W. Anderson is accused of sexually assaulting a young woman outside a party at a fraternity house in South Waco.
According to police, the woman said that after drinking some kind of punch she was handed at the party on Feb. 21 she became disoriented and Anderson took her outside where she was assaulted.
The Baptist institution has been under fire for failing to support women sexually assaulted from 2009 to 2012.
And three weeks ago the university’s president Kenneth W. Starr, put out a campus message assuring the campus community the university is taking every step “to eliminate the scourge of sexual violence... Let me be clear: Sexual violence emphatically has no place whatsoever at Baylor University,” the letter said.
