The former president of a now-suspended fraternity at Temple University has been charged as part of a month-long investigation into sexual misconduct, underage drinking and drug use.
Ari Goldstein, 21, ex-president of the Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity, was arraigned Wednesday afternoon on charges of sexual assault and is being held on $2 million bail, ABC’s Philadelphia station WPVI reported.
At least two reports of sexual assaults have been lodged against the fraternity, according to WPVI.
One case, involving a 19-year-old student at the Philadelphia school, has been referred to the district attorney, police said.
A separate case reported in March involved another 19-year-old student who said she passed out after accepting drinks from members of the fraternity, according to police.
“She was given several drinks by members of the fraternity,” Philadelphia Police Captain Mark Burgmann said during a press conference last month. “She says she became dizzy and disoriented, and that’s the last thing she remembered until she woke up in bed with one of the members of the fraternity.”
Temple suspended the fraternity last month.
