Over the next few hours, the [initiated] students drank a variety of alcohol — from Jell-O shots to bag wine to beer — were taken to various locations and told to perform different tasks before being initiated into a group called DTX. Following a final bonfire, the victim fell and was helped up by Vanegas, who told her to walk straight. Her next memory is being in bed with him naked and on top of her.

The victim remembers little of the rest of the evening, at one point imagining that she had been taken to the hospital, but recalled being in a room with two students.

Two male students reported to Carleton Security that at about 5 a.m. a female student wearing only a T-shirt, identified later on security footage as the victim, wandered into their room, laid down on one of the beds and fell asleep. They described her as disoriented, wobbly and smelling of alcohol.
