UW-Madison sophomore Kelly Anger figures it’s best to be on the safe side. In the wake of Saturday’s sexual assault near campus, she and her roommates will probably be carrying pepper spray from now on.
“When it happens on your own street, you’re a little more scared,” said Anger, who lives on the 1000 block of Spring Street, where a sexual assault took place just before 2 a.m. Saturday. The area is a block west of Smith Hall, the newest UW-Madison dormitory.
