Brother of a fraternity at Indiana University allegedly attacked two fellow students

An Indiana University fraternity member faces seven felony charges after allegedly attacking two women in campus Greek dormitories within a week in September.

Monroe County authorities charged 20-year-old Noah Apgar with five counts of rape, one count of strangulation and false imprisonment in connection with the alleged attacks.

“On September 15, 2024, an IU student reported to officers that a rape had occurred on September 6, 2024 at a Greek house on North Eagleson Avenue,” an IU police spokesperson said in a statement to Fox News Digital. “The suspect in this case, Noah Apgar, is the same suspect from the rape that occurred on September 13, 2024 at Sigma Alpha Epsilon. On September 17, 2024, Apgar was arrested for rape, strangulation, and false imprisonment. He has been banned from all IU property.”

According to local news station WIBW, Apgar is the third male UI student to be arrested and charged in connection with sexual assault since late August.

The first reported attack, which occurred between midnight and 2 a.m. on a Friday night, is described in a probable cause affidavit filed in Monroe County and obtained by Fox News Digital.

The victim in that case, identified as Victim No. 1, told police that she and Apgar met at a fraternity house after connecting through Snapchat, although they never spoke in person.

At that fraternity house, Apgar allegedly told the victim that she was “'just dressed like that to get along with all the other guys here' or 'You're dressed like that because you talk to guys,'” the affidavit states.

Later that evening, the victim and Apgar went to his fraternity house at Sigma Alpha Epsilon, and Apgar allegedly persuaded the victim to go to the bathroom with him. They then began consensually kissing until the suspect apparently became aggressive and attacked the victim despite her loud pleas to stop, according to the affidavit.

In surveillance camera footage obtained by campus police, the victim appears to be seen “smiling and willingly walking behind Mr. Apgar.” However, when she later emerges from the bathroom, she “appears generally disheveled,” with red marks on her neck.

The victim then left the fraternity house and “screamed” for help. He eventually met two fraternity members who escorted him to their housing and provided him with the necessary assistance.

The surveillance camera footage also appears to show a student stopping Apgar from pursuing Victim 1.

While the second assault is not described in detail in court records, police said the events of the second alleged attack were similar to those of the first.

We are committed to the well-being of our members, guests, and their respective communities. Our staff will continue to work with our chapters, campus officials, and local alumni leaders to reinforce these values.”
