Content warning: Sexual misconduct, assault, rape, vulgar language 

Marissa Sepulveda cried and physically shook while she sat in the back of Loyola University Chicago’s admissions office, where she worked to recruit new students, at the end of September 2021. In a report to the university, she wrote up the details of the night she said she was raped during her sophomore year in 2019. 

She was living in a dorm on Loyola’s Lake Shore Campus (LSC). It was a Saturday night and Sepulveda said she invited some friends from a club sports team over for a party, including a friend she had recently started casually dating. As the night progressed, Sepulveda said she became increasingly more intoxicated, causing her to dip in and out of consciousness. 

The following morning she said she found herself unable to recall the majority of events that occurred the night before.

“I don’t really remember a ton of that night, but essentially, I do remember what happened, which was that I was raped by that guy,” Sepulveda told The Phoenix.

Now, three years later, Sepulveda, along with two other women — Madeline Kane and Catherine Ann Cappello — has recently filed a lawsuit against Loyola for allegedly mishandling their sexual assault cases. 

The lawsuit claims the plaintiffs were either forced to attend their classes in hostile environments or abandon their education. Furthermore, the lawsuit said Loyola students are routinely injured due to the widespread nature of sexual assault around campus and the failures of the administration to protect its students.
