CSC student posts bond, released Oct. 8

CSC student Timothy C. Jungquist, 19, was released from Dawes County Jail Oct. 8 after posting a 10 percent of $50,000 bond, following a bond hearing that same day. His original bond was set at 10 percent of $150,000.

Jungquist was arrested by Chadron Police Oct. 8 in connection with an alleged first-degree sexual assault in Andrews Hall that reportedly occurred Sunday, Oct. 5, Chadron Police Department and Dawes County Sheriff’s officials said.

He was arrested after the alleged victim, a female, reported the assault Oct. 7, police stated in a press release. The Eagle does not publish the names of victims or alleged victims of sexual assault.

The Fall 2013 campus directory lists Jungquist as a freshman of Pegram, Tennessee, who is majoring in Physical Education and Health (K-12). In April, he was sworn in as a Senator-at-Large to the CSC Student Senate.

This is the second semester a male student has been arrested in connection with an alleged sexual assault.  In March, former sophomore student Tre M. Brown of Donaldsonville, Louisiana, was arrested on a probable cause affidavit citing first-degree sexual assault, a class II felony. At the time of his arrest, Brown was listed as one of 36 non-numbered players on the CSC football roster. His original bond was set at  $250,000, then reduced to 10 percent of $75,000, after special conditions were imposed that were not open to the public. Brown posted the required $7,500 bail and was released March 16.

As reported in The Eagle Aug. 27, Brown’s case is still pending.

On Oct. 9, Jon Hansen, vice president of enrollment management, marketing and student services, reaffirmed the college’s position about sexual assault reports.

“The college takes sexual assault and relationship violence very seriously,” Hansen said. “As a community we will continue to educate and be vigilant to prevent these occurrences and promote the reporting of occurrences when they happen. The college will continue to develop education programs that are proactive in this arena.”

Via Alex Helmbrecht, director of college relations, Hansen notified the campus community about the alleged assault by email at 5:57 p.m., Wednesday, Oct. 8.

CSC will continue to cooperate with the Chadron Police Department throughout this investigation.
