A kidnapping and assault were reported by the Athens-Clarke County police Sunday after an investigation revealed a 20-year-old University student was picked up in a dark-colored SUV on Milledge Avenue early Friday and taken to Jackson County where she was attacked.

ACC police responded to Athens Regional Medical Center and meet with Jackson County deputies who responded to a location on U.S. 441 in their county where they found the woman partially clothed and wrapped in a blanket.

The woman was taken to ARMC for treatment of unspecified injuries, and the incident is being investigated by both ACC police and JCSO.

In September 2007, a person was accused of abducting two women while driving a white van, and one of the victims, a UGA student, said she was sexually assaulted during the abduction.

The two women reported they were abducted in a white van in downtown Athens on a football game weekend. A man offered them a ride and drove each woman to the same Oglethorpe County road. One woman, a UGA student, was raped. The other, a woman from South Carolina, escaped and called police.

In these incidents, the driver posed as a courtesy taxi service and offered rides to the women.

A third woman, a University student, reported a similar incident occurred in May 2007.

In October 2008, a 23-year-old woman told police she was sexually assaulted by a 40 to 50-year-old man wearing a dark ball cap, dark brown coat and light colored jeans. She told police she was walking to work on Athena Drive when the man driving a white van asked if she needed a ride. Since it was raining, she accepted.

The victim told police that in the Athena Drive and Old Hull Road area the suspect made an inappropriate remark and tried to grope her breasts. She said when she pushed him away he grabbed her thigh and reached for her private area. She was able to exit the van on North Avenue when he stopped to let her out.
