"Assault is dependably a wrongdoing of roughness,'' Kianerci said outside the courthouse Monday after the short hearing. "When we hear the statement assault, we frequently consider physical energy. Assault is all the more regularly the robbery of the body and pride of a lady taken by guilty parties who accept nobody will know and nobody is looking. These sorts of rapes happen on grounds, at gatherings the whole way across this nation. Unfortunately, they frequently go unreported, or more awful, we are not able to continue. Fortunately for the exploited person for this situation, there were two great Samaritans, who were in the opportune spot, at the perfect time, and all the more imperatively, they made the best decision. Furthermore that is the message that needs to be sent to the group: Don't simply remain by in the event that you see something improper.
On the off chance that you see something, say something."

The claimed assault happened after 12 pm on a Sunday morning, close to a dumpster behind the Kappa Alpha society party where Turner met the lady. Two men riding bicycles on grounds saw an oblivious lady on the ground with a man on top of her. The man fled, however they pursued him down and held him until police touched base, as indicated by police reports.
Kianerci has commended the two bicycle riders, saying they jumped without hesitation on the grounds that what they saw "stunned their heart."
