UC SAN DIEGO POLICE DEPARTMENT January 27, 2025 ALL ACADEMICS, STAFF, AND STUDENTS AT UC SAN DIEGO Content Warning: This timely warning includes descriptions of sexual violence. This information is being shared so that you can make informed decisions about your safety. We encourage all community members to care for their needs and well-being while reading this message, especially those impacted by similar forms of violence. Contact information for campus support resources can be found at the end of this notice. Timely Warning - Sexual Assault Known Perpetrator On January 27, 2025, at 4:06 PM, the UC San Diego Police Department received a report of a sexual assault that occurred on January 24, 2025, at 8:00 PM at Eighth College. The assault was committed by an acquaintance of the victim who is unaffiliated with the University. At this time, the suspect is not in custody. The report is currently under investigation by the UC San Diego Police Department. If you have information that could be helpful in this investigation, please call the UC San Diego Police Department at (858) 534-4357 or submit an online tip at https://police.ucsd.edu/services/anonymous.html. UC San Diego does not tolerate sexual assault, sexual misconduct, relationship violence or sexual harassment. The remainder of this message provides general information about preventing and reporting a sexual assault and is not necessarily related to this incident. Sexual assaults are never the fault of the survivor and keeping UC San Diego safe is everyone’s responsibility. Receive affirmative consent before engaging in sexual activity. Consent is voluntary and it must be given without coercion, force, threats, or intimidation and can be withdrawn at any time. Perpetrators may attempt to use alcohol and/or drugs to facilitate a sexual assault. Alcohol or drugs are never an excuse for choosing to violate another person. Several drugs may be added to beverages that may alter the consciousness or incapacitate a person without their knowledge. Drugs and alcohol can produce amnesia, leaving a victim unclear about what occurred afterward. These drugs can be used for criminal activity like sexual misconduct or sexual assault. Ignorance of the law or of University policy is never a defense. You can help stop sexual assaults by identifying common behaviors that often precede sexual assault, and taking action if you see those behaviors happening. Recognizable red flags include seeing someone who is: trying to separate an intoxicated individual from their friends; persistently pursuing an individual even when they make it clear they are not interested; or using threats of violence to force an individual to do something they do not want to do. You can help by trying to connect someone at risk with their friends or by calling a Community Service Officer (CSO) to escort that person home. Survivor Support & Other Resources Survivors of sexual violence are encouraged to seek confidential support at UC San Diego’s CARE at the Sexual Assault Resource Center (CARE at SARC). CARE advocates are available 24 hours a day at (858) 534-5793. Visit https://care.ucsd.edu. The Office for the Prevention of Harassment & Discrimination serves as the non-confidential Title IX office at UC San Diego. Reporting options can be found at https://ophd.ucsd.edu. What is this Notice? This notice is being provided to you to comply with the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act. Timely Warnings are intended to prevent similar crimes and to provide information that will assist community members in protecting themselves. Sexual assaults are classified as rape or fondling in the crime statistics in the University’s Annual Security and Fire Safety Report.

Impactpresent13/25
Final assessment
Majority 13 of 25 treat incapacitation, rape or fondling classification, and sexual-violence wording as stated severity. Twelve treat those lines as restating the hazard name.
What the hazard could do to the people in its path. Beyond naming the threat, a complete warning conveys its potential consequences or severity, such as that a tornado can level buildings or that a leak could be explosive, so recipients grasp how much danger they are in. Research on warning message content finds that a concrete impact statement helps people personalize their risk and act sooner.
See all 25 individual reads
- present: Incapacitation, amnesia, rape, and fondling language goes past naming the offense.
- present: Sexual violence, rape or fondling, and drug incapacitation describe severity.
- present: The text describes sexual violence and drugs that can incapacitate or cause amnesia.
- present: Severity is marked by rape or fondling classification and incapacitation wording.
- present: Incapacitation and sexual violence descriptions count as consequence language.
- present: Drugs that alter consciousness plus rape and fondling labels go beyond a bare crime name.
- present: Amnesia, incapacitation, and sexual violence wording convey harm beyond the label assault.
- present: The notice discusses incapacitation and classifies the harm as rape or fondling.
- present: Sexual violence descriptions and drug incapacitation language supply severity.
- present: Incapacitation, amnesia, and rape or fondling language mark consequences rather than a bare name.
- present: Severity appears in sexual violence wording and in drugs that can incapacitate a person.
- present: Rape, fondling, and incapacitation language go further than naming sexual assault.
- present: Incapacitation and sexual violence descriptions count as severity rather than a mere hazard label.
- absent: No injury, lasting harm, or other consequence is described beyond naming sexual assault.
- absent: Severity scoring fails because the text never states outcomes or gravity past the crime label.
- absent: Calling the event a sexual assault, without describing harm done, does not meet the consequence test.
- absent: Impact is absent because only the hazard name appears, not injuries or other fallout.
- absent: Naming sexual violence without stating what harm followed keeps severity at zero.
- absent: No consequence, medical result, or elevated seriousness is added beyond the offense title.
- absent: Hazard labeling alone is present, so the severity or consequence criterion is not met.
- absent: The writeup never describes injuries, trauma outcomes, or other impacts of this assault.
- absent: Consequences stay unscored because seriousness is not described apart from the crime name.
- absent: Only the offense is named, with no account of resulting harm or gravity.
- absent: Severity is not established beyond the words sexual assault, so impact is coded absent.
- absent: No consequence or elevated seriousness is stated, so naming the crime is not enough for this item.
