An Indiana University student, Noah Apgar from Greenwood, has been taken into custody on allegations of sexual violence, facing serious charges including five counts of rape. As reported by WISH-TV, Apgar was arrested following accusations that he raped two female students on separate occasions, both incidents purportedly occurring at Greek life houses on the university's campus.
The victims, who have shared details with authorities, both encountered Apgar at campus parties before being assaulted after private meetings initiated through Snapchat, their interaction that begun with the innocuous pinging of modern courtship—gone terribly afield turned dark and violent as the women reported Apgar's aggressive behaviors that led to non-consensual sexual activities. According to court documents cited by FOX59, one victim recounted Apgar's chilling dismissiveness during the assault, "No, we’re not stopping," "I don’t care, it’s going to happen. Stop not letting it happen, just enjoy it."
With the issuance of an arrest warrant, Apgar now confronts legal repercussions that include additional charges of strangulation and confinement. The Indiana University Police Department gathered corroborative witness testimonies and security footage which, according to WIBC, have substantiated the charges against Apgar.
Each charge represents a separate violation, with Apgar facing multiple counts of rape from different incidents. It is still unconfirmed if he is a member of the fraternity where one of the assaults reportedly took place. The lives of two young women have been deeply affected, and the campus community at Indiana University is once again dealing with the issue of sexual assault. Apgar is set to appear in court to face the charges.
