Staff Report
UNM police are "actively investigating" the alleged rape of a student that reportedly took place on campus Saturday at about 2 a.m., said UNMPD Commander James Daniels.
The investigation is ongoing, so details pertaining to the alleged crime are not all available at this time, Daniels said.
"This is the primary case right now for this department," he said.
The alleged incident stems from an off-campus party Friday night that the victim was reportedly at. Daniels said the victim left the party with another student and returned to a room at Hokona Residence Hall, where the alleged incident took place.
UNM police were dispatched to the UNM Hospital Saturday where they interviewed the victim.

This is the first rape being investigated by UNM police this semester, Daniels said.
The commander of the UNM police force said he could not comment if drugs or alcohol played a role in the incident, or if police were investigating that factor.
