Woman found after possible sexual assault

Fort Wayne police are investigating whether a local woman was sexually assaulted before she woke up inside a downtown hotel lobby Sunday morning.

The woman met with police at a local hospital Sunday and said that she was wearing someone else’s pants when she woke up inside the hotel lobby. Her clothing was inside a trash bag by her side. She did not know who called her boyfriend and friend to come get her as her cell phone was no longer working, a police report said.

The victim said that she had gone to Piere’s Entertainment Center Saturday night. She blacked out about 2 a.m. Sunday, and her friend said that she had been dancing with a man who would not let her leave to go home, the report said.

The friend asked for Piere’s security staff to help her get the woman out of the bar but when she returned the woman and the man were gone. Piere’s paged the victim but she never reappeared.

The woman was taken to the Sexual Assault Treatment Center for an exam and interview, the report said.
