Ann Arbor Golf Course Sexual Assault Investigation
The Ann Arbor community has been shaken by a recent incident of sexual assault that occurred on a private golf course near the 400 block of East Stadium Boulevard. Late in the evening, around 10 p.m. on Saturday, a woman reported being assaulted by two unknown men while walking to her car, which was parked at the Ann Arbor Golf & Outing Club. The University of Michigan Division of Public Safety & Security (DPSS) has launched an investigation into the matter.
The location of the assault is particularly significant, as the 400 block of East Stadium is across from Michigan Stadium and near the Crisler Center. These well-known landmarks make it all the more important for the community to come together and support the victim while working towards ensuring safety in the surrounding area.
In response to the incident, DPSS issued a crime alert urging community members to trust their intuition and avoid uncomfortable or unsafe situations. They emphasized the importance of reporting any suspicious behavior, as well as the need to walk with friends or coworkers whenever possible. Furthermore, they reminded everyone not to grant building access to unknown individuals, enhancing overall personal safety.
