Woman Raped in Howard University Classroom

An 18-year-old woman was raped inside a Howard University classroom by a man who followed her off a Metro bus, police told the Washington Post.

The Metropolitan Police Department released a statement saying the woman was sexually assaulted on the 2600 block of Sixth Street NW about 8 a.m. Monday. But as the Post learned, the woman was followed into a Howard academic building and pushed into a classroom, where she was raped.

WJLA reports that the woman was participating in a program put on by College Success Foundation, which "sent a letter home to participants informing them of the assault and a list of safety tips."

Police described the suspect as a black male between the ages of 18 and 20 who was last seen wearing a white shirt and black-and-white shorts.
