A 21-year-old woman reported being raped in a locked bathroom at the Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity house in Hyde Park, Chicago, early Sunday morning, while three to five men stood outside cheering and blocking her friends from entering. Her friend Mia Lara, 21, forced her way in to find the victim slumped on the floor, partially undressed, reportedly saying "Make it stop" and "Get me out of here." Chicago police have identified a person of interest — not a student — who has been banned from campus, though no arrests have been made. The case erupts weeks after the "Cornell 7" gang-rape allegations ignited a national reckoning over sexual violence at elite American universities.

One of the men outside the bathroom grabbed a friend BY THE HAIR when she tried to force her way in to help.

The suspect, confronted by Mia Lara outside the frat house, allegedly replied: 'She wanted to.'

The victim, a University of Illinois-Chicago student, attended the party after seeing it advertised on the fraternity's Instagram.
