Sex offense reported in UMaine residence hall early Saturday

UMaine police respond to Oxford Hall

The University of Maine Police Department responded to Oxford Hall early Saturday after a report of a sex offense, according to a police log.

The log said the department responded at 3:54 a.m. and the incident is under investigation. On Monday, UMPD Det. Keith Mercier said the investigation is still ongoing, with no charges filed.

Oxford Hall is a first-year residence hall with double-occupancy only, according to UMaine’s website.

This sex offense report was the second handled by the department in less than 48 hours, as on Thursday, UMPD responded to the Division of Student Affairs after an incident “in reference to” the UMaine chapter of fraternity Phi Eta Kappa, according to UMPD Chief Roland LaCroix. That investigation is also ongoing.
