A female UW student told police that two men attacked and sexually assaulted her on Spring Street in the early morning hours on Saturday. In the wake of this report, the university says demand for its late-night safety programs is growing.
“Every weekend our phone lines are maxed out,” said Jacob Hahn with UW’s transportation office. The number of students asking for a walking escort more than doubled since 2003, this fall, 1,350 students called.
