Let the Great Window Wars of 2010 begin.

For weeks, one Village A apartment has sported a life-sized cardboard cutout of Taylor Lautner wearing a Georgetown shirt on its window—presumably as a modest measure to cover those washboard abs. Not to be outdone by Team Jacob, however, Edward Cullen fans recently retaliated with a life-sized Robert Pattinson cutout sporting a Hoya Saxa shirt and a caption reading, “Jacob sucks!”

View Suspected “Georgetown Cuddler” incidents in a larger map

A student was sexually assaulted in her Village A apartment early this morning, according to a Public Safety Alert sent out by Georgetown’s Department of Public Safety.

This is the second reported sexual assault in three days; both incidents bear a strong resemblance to previous “Georgetown Cuddler” crimes. This is the second possible “Cuddler” incident that has reportedly occurred on campus (the previous incident occurred on September 25, 2008 in Village A).

According to the PSA:

On Tuesday, September 1, 2009, at approximately 4:20 a.m., an unidentified male entered the residence of a student in Village A through a ground floor window. The suspect began to sexually assault the victim, whereupon the victim screamed and the suspect left the residence.

On Tuesday, September 1, 2009, at approximately 4:20 a.m., an unidentified male entered the residence of a student in Village A through a ground floor window. The suspect climbed into the bed of the complainant while she slept. The suspect began to sexually assault the complainant, whereupon she screamed and the suspect left the residence through the front door, fleeing in an unknown direction.

The complainant immediately notified DPS. Both DPS and MPD responded to the scene. DPS is cooperating with MPD’s investigation.

The Voice is continuing reporting on both assaults and will post updates as we find out more.

Parkour is a ridiculous urban sport involving climbing and flipping around buildings–essentially, a sport for people whose poor team skills preclude actual sports. The stairs by Village A provided some parkouring kids the opportunity to climb upside-down and freak the straights:
Some of their cronies also jump off rocks in Rosslyn. It’s cool, but I think this video would’ve been 100 times cooler if a recognizable landmark or congressman were vigorously parkoured. This is Washington, after all. You can climb under staircases in Waco.
