University spokesman Paul Cocke said the alleged victim was a 19-year-old woman and the incident occurred overnight Friday in Nash Hall.
Cocke said Dowding-Albrecht was temporarily evicted and isn’t allowed to return to the dorm.
No other information was provided.
Cocke said in a statement that Western’s Equal Opportunity Office, which handles sexual assault investigations at Western, will conduct an investigation that is separate from the criminal process.
It wasn’t immediately clear if Dowding-Albrecht has a lawyer.
