BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — A former Indiana University student has pleaded guilty to a criminal confinement charge in connection with an incident at Teter Hall in December 2021.
A police report accused Samuel Elliott of assaulting a woman while she was throwing up in a dorm bathroom.
According to court documents, Elliott was among a group of people drinking alcohol in a room in December.
The victim said she got sick and ran to the restroom.
According to court documents, Elliott asked the victim if they could have sex. The victim told Elliott she was too intoxicated to make a decision.
Investigators said Elliott then sexually assaulted her in the bathroom.
Elliott initially faced a rape allegation.
On June 12, Elliott pleaded guilty to a charge of criminal confinement, with the four rape charges dismissed. A 545-day jail sentence was suspended, and Elliott was placed on probation for one year.
