OMAHA, Neb. (KMTV) — This week, the University of Nebraska-Omaha (UNO) sent an email to students and faculty warning them about an alleged sexual assault that an anonymous person said happened at a park near campus.
UNO says they received notice about an incident, occurring on Saturday, April 6 at approximately 6:30 p.m. in nearby Elmwood Park. There, an "anonymous reporter indicated that they were sexually assaulted while running through the eastern portion of the park."
