Two University of Wisconsin-La Crosse freshmen are accused of sexually assaulting another male student Monday afternoon in a residence hall room.
Casey Gudis, 18, of Ladysmith, Wis., and Brayden Wienke, 19, of Clear Lake, Wis., are expected to be charged Oct. 6 in La Crosse County Circuit Court with first-degree sexual assault. They were released today on $5,000 signature bonds and are not allowed contact with campus.
The victim, also a freshman, immediately reported the incident and university police acted swiftly, UW-L Chancellor Joe Gow said. The three students did know each other before the incident, he said.
From what I know, I dont think this has anything to do with hazing, Gow said.
Gudis and Wienke were not drinking, the chancellor said.
University police did not release an arrest report, citing an open
investigation.
