WSU Police announced Thursday that the original attack, reported August 19 by an incoming freshman, was recanted. The woman claimed she was walking near Bryan Hall at night and was approached by a man who grabbed her. She claimed she fought him off and ran away.
This is the second of three attacks that has been recanted. Officers say a woman reported being attacked by a similar looking suspect on Stadium Way the night of August 24. She has also recanted her story.
However, officers say they are still investigating an attack reported in the early morning hours of August 24 near the Smith Building on Troy Lane.
In all cases, the women reported the suspect as a white male, about 5'9 with a stocky build, wearing a hooded sweatshirt.
