"911 was called and an ambulance took her to the emergency room at Oklahoma Memorial Hospital. From there the Edmond Police were contacted," said Lt. Hayes Forbes, UCO police officer. The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation (OSBI) was called in to assist the campus police, said Roberts. The police have begun procedures to subpoena the victim's medical records to verify the rape. "The medical records will show whether or not the woman was raped, but for now we're going on with the investigation full steam ahead," said Roberts. "We are following many leads at this moment and hope to have something concrete by the end of this week." Anyone with information is being asked to contact the UCO police department at 341-2980 ext. 2345.
