Christian Hopper, NC Central student faces rape, kidnapping charges in connection to on-campus sexual assault

On Wednesday morning, NC Central issued a warning on a lady who had been the victim of sexual assault in the Benjamin Ruffin Residence Hall the previous night. A student at North Carolina Central University was taken into custody on Wednesday and is now facing accusations of rape as well as kidnapping in connection to a sexual assault that took place on campus.

The victim said that the suspect sexually attacked her between the hours of 1:00 and 2:00 in the resident hall's bathroom. The incident allegedly took place between those hours. A student at NC Central named Christian Hopper, who was 18 years old, was taken into custody by NC Central police. The victim of the sexual assault was another female student at the university.

According to the NC Central police, the suspect and the victim were familiar with one another. Hopper, who is originally from Charlotte. Hopper has given the impression to the police that he is a first-year student majoring in business who works as a barber on campus. Both of his parents were present in the courtroom today. Hopper is required to post a bail in the amount of $250,000.

"I was definitely taken aback by it," said NC Central junior Dacia Holmes. "I was definitely surprised by it." "Not only do I have a lot of friends who live there, but it's also an honors residence hall." Shining Light in Darkness is an organization that was co-founded by Florida Devaul-Dudley. This group is committed to providing assistance to survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence.

"It was very disheartening to say the least," Devaul-Dudley remarked about the experience. Nobody likes to think about the possibility that their child may return home from school to find out that anything as horrifying as this has occurred to them. "My thoughts and prayers are with the individual who is a survivor of the incident." The North Carolina Central Police Department can be reached at 919-530-6106 by anyone who has information regarding the sexual assault that took place.
