Woman Reports Rape at Home Of Huskers' Armstrong, Westerkamp

Police said Tuesday they were investigating a report of a sexual assault at the residence of Nebraska quarterback Tommy Armstrong Jr. and receiver Jordan Westerkamp.

Officer Katie Flood said a 20-year-old woman went to a Lincoln hospital Sunday afternoon and said she had been raped. The woman told police she knows the suspect, and Flood said that person was contacted.

Flood said no arrests had been made.

Armstrong told the Omaha World-Herald that he, Westerkamp and another roommate have spoken with police.

"After talking to us, (the police) said you guys should be fine," he told the newspaper. He also told the World-Herald he didn't know why the woman went to police, adding, "From what we're hearing, everything was consensual."

Westerkamp could not be reached for comment. His father, Bob Westerkamp, said Tuesday from Lombard, Illinois, that he didn't know about the alleged incident and that he was trying to reach his son.

Nebraska issued a statement saying it was aware of the allegation and was cooperating with law enforcement officials and the university's Office of Institutional Equity and Compliance.

Nebraska played Rutgers in New Jersey on Saturday, and Armstrong said he arrived at his house about 12:30 a.m. Sunday. According to the police report, the alleged rape occurred Sunday between 2:15 a.m. and 9:30 a.m.
