When campus security began investigating the report on Twitter, the woman said she was never attacked and didn’t know who posted that online.
Some people also raised questions on Twitter about cameras on campus.

As FSCJ looks into what it is calling conflicting reports about the incident on the Kent campus, it is urging students to download the FSCJ Safe app.
Students and faculty can report information to police and get emergency notifications.
The app has a Mobile BlueLight function. People can send their location to security officers and chat with campus security dispatch.
They can also use the Friend Walk tool to send their location to a friend or campus security so they can watch the person walk to their destination via GPS.
