No charges were filed in alleged Bouquet Gardens assault

The Pitt police recently concluded its investigation of a Jan. 29 sexual assault allegation…. The Pitt police recently concluded its investigation of a Jan. 29 sexual assault allegation. The investigation stems from a complaint by a non-student who called the Pitt police from an Oakland Avenue emergency phone. The women reported she was sexually assaulted by several male acquaintances in Pitt’s Bouquet Gardens complex.

After the assault, Pitt police Chief Tim Delaney said that the incident was not the result of a forced entry. “This was not a stranger walking the streets,” he said at the time.

Police initially identified three suspects, but will not be charging anyone with rape or sexual assault.

According to Delaney, “The complainant will not pursue any criminal or judicial charges.”
