<p><b>Rape - Harvard Yard</b><br>
Posted on 08/10/2012 1:37 PM<br>
<br>
On Friday, August 10, 2012, an unaffiliated female reported to
the Harvard University Police Department that she was the
victim of a rape in Harvard Yard at approximately 3:15 AM. The
victim was grabbed as she entered the Yard through the
Johnston Gate and was pulled behind Massachusetts Hall and
attacked. <br>
<br>
The victim described the offender as a very tanned, possible
Hispanic male, mid-twenties, 5’7” in height, medium build,
dark hair, wearing a white shirt.
<br>
<br>
This incident is being actively investigated by the Harvard
University Police Department’s Criminal Investigation
Division. Detectives are contacting area police departments in
an effort to identify the suspect. If anyone has any
information regarding this incident, please contact the
Criminal Investigation Division at 617-495-1796. <br>
<br>
The Harvard University Police Department has increased both
uniformed and plainclothes officers in and around the Yard and
the surrounding campus.
<br>
<br>
If at any time you observe any type of suspicious activity or
have been the victim of a violent crime, regardless of the
location of the incident, please notify the Harvard University
Police Department immediately at 617-495-1212. Students,
faculty, and staff are encouraged to store this number in
their cell phone. Failing to notify the police immediately can
seriously hinder the follow-up investigation.
<br>
<br>
The Harvard University Police Department wants to remind
students, faculty, and staff that we are located in an urban
setting and share many of the crime and safety issues that
exist in any city. Community members should be vigilant while
walking throughout campus and surrounding areas both during
the day and at night and to take appropriate precautions. If
you are out after dark, try to travel in groups, use only
well-lit routes or designated pathways, and do not allow
yourself to be distracted by phone calls or by using ear buds.
Make use of shuttle buses, and van service. You should also
note the location of blue light phones. You can learn more
about the shuttles and van service at

. <br>
<br>
Students, faculty, and staff also may call the Harvard
University Police Department at 617-495-1212 if they believe
they are in danger while waiting for transportation due to the
hour or circumstance. The Harvard University Police Department
will assist with transportation whenever appropriate. <br>
<br>
If you suspect you are being followed, stay away from dimly
lit areas and head for a store or building that you know to be
open. Trust your instincts. If you feel uncomfortable about
someone near you, head for a populated area and call the
Harvard University Police Department. <br>
<br>

Safe" booklet, which can be found at
