Western University reels as student dies from assault; social media sparks investigation into alleged sexual violence

Mark Spowart/The Canadian Press

Allegations of sexual violence at a Friday night gathering at Medway-Sydenham Hall, a campus student residence, circulated on TikTok and Twitter in recent days. Western administrators and police in London said they had not received any reports of such incidents and appealed for people to come forward with information.London police said they are aware of information circulating on social media, and that based on the seriousness of the allegations, they had opened an investigation.

Chris Alleyne, interim associate vice-president for student experience at Western, said the university is “troubled and worried” by this weekend’s reports of alleged assaults. Those efforts continued Monday, but the university still had not received any response to its request for information on the alleged incidents. The university said it had stepped up security in residences and had counsellors, including experts in gender-based violence, on site to assist students.the four known complaints of sexual violence from last week, “including facilitating arrest and removing students from residence while investigations continue.

Especially given the risk of violence that students face during the first few weeks of life at a postsecondary institution, Ms. Khan stresses that the work must begin much earlier.A StatsCan report found that in 2019 slightly more than one in 10 women in a Canadian postsecondary setting reported being assaulted in a single year. More than 70 per cent witnessed or experienced unwanted sexual behaviour, the report said.Mr. Alleyne said that sexual violence will never be tolerated at Western.

When this is proved completely fabricated by the crazy left will it be covered by the media ?

So extremely sad. 🙏🏻

London is an absolute shit hole always has been always will be. rip young man and to the assaulted women don’t take the pressure off force policy and action. 1 is a tragedy 30 is neglect of duty.

This is heartbreaking! RIP

Here we are in 2021 and sexual violence remains a problem across our campuses. Educating women how to stay safe is not the answer. We need to address the culture of gender based violence.

What is this story? You give a murder like 8 words, and spend the rest of the article talking about alleged sexual assaults. No proof, no actual story, just rumors circulating on an app. Is the story that some people on tiktok are spreading rumors?

London, Ontario is getting worse.
