Woman reports rape near UNC campus
The report of a rape Thursday near the campus of the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill served as a reminder to young women of the need to be vigilant.
A 27-year-old woman told police she was attacked behind Ackland Art Museum after leaving Cosmic Cantina, a restaurant at 128 E. Franklin St. The area is a popular shortcut from the UNC campus to the shops and bars on Franklin Street.
"It's not well lit during the night, but at dusk it's OK. It's pretty busy," said Emily Stevens, a university employee who works nearby.
Alana Austin, a UNC senior, said she uses the shortcut, but sometimes varies her route.
