A fraternity president at Cornell University was charged with sexual assault after an alleged attack at the Psi Upsilon house on campus last weekend.

Wolfgang Ballinger, a 21-year-old junior from New York, was charged with first-degree attempted rape, first-degree criminal sex act with a helpless victim, and sexual misconduct, according to charges listed with the Tompkins County, N.Y., jail.

Ballinger did not immediately respond to a request for comment Saturday. A spokesperson for the Tompkins County sheriff’s office did not immediately respond to a request for information.

On Monday, campus police alerted students that an alleged sexual assault had been reported to have occurred about 2 a.m. Sunday morning, after a woman was led to a bedroom at the house, according to the Cornell Daily Sun.

3. The guy has to face trail.

If evidence convicts him, he should go to jail for a long time.
