Per the article, the victim told police Dinler followed her to her residence in Hovnanian Hall, where he entered her room and raped her. Dinler allegedly forced the girl to perform oral sex as well.
According to the report, detectives reviewed campus security footage that showed the woman being escorted toward Hovnanian Hall by a man at 11:09 to 11:10 p.m. that night.
