MISSOULA- Two more sexual assaults have been reported on the University of Montana campus. School officials released a statement on Friday saying that two women came forward to report a sexual assault.

Both of the victims stated they had received a ride to their on-campus housing from a male who forced them to drink alcohol and then attempted to, or did, sexually assault them.

The University of Montana says in the statement the alcohol was possibly laced with illegal drugs.

"It can be assumed that conditions continue to exist that may pose a threat to members and guests of the community. It is the duty of the institution to warn of possible "dangerous conditions" on or near its campus".

The statement also says the possible assaults were likely made by the same male perpetrator who was an acquaintance of both women.

Both cases occurred on separate occasions during the night of February 10th and are being investigated by the University of Montana Dean of Students.
