Niess said two of the women reported that they awakened at different points during the night and realized they were being raped by a male acquaintance. The third woman reported waking up and finding a male acquaintance undressing her. Niess said she was able to stop him and left the apartment.

The case remained under investigation Monday without any arrest having been made.
