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, New York, jail.
Ballinger did not immediately respond to a request for comment Saturday. James A. Baker, the lawyer representing him, said, "Wolfgang Ballinger is not guilty of the charges that have been filed against him. His innocence will be established at the proper time and in the proper place-which is in the courts, not in the media. Beyond that, we have no comment."
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.
