Woman arrested for raping female roommate at University hostel

A Bronx co-ed has been charged with raping her female roommate at Susquehanna University, police said.

Pratigya Thakur, a 19-year-old sophomore, was arrested Monday on charges of rape, indecent assault and harassment in connection with the alleged May 16 attack at the school in Selinsgrove, according to an arrest affidavit obtained by The Post.

Thakur’s roommate reported the alleged rape to university officials May 29, then told cops June 6. She said both she and Thakur drank alcohol and smoked marijuana before the alleged attack, the arrest affidavit states.

The roommate said she was singing and dancing inside their Hassinger Hall dorm room as she packed up her belongings ahead of a move into another university housing unit for the summer when she decided to lie down on Thakur’s bed because her own was covered with clothing and other possessions, the affidavit states.

The roommate said she felt Thakur touch her but thought she was “just trying to move her” so the Bronx teen could also fall asleep in her bed, police said.

The alleged victim told police she awoke to find Thakur “on top of her straddling her” before grabbing her hands and placing them on her roommate’s breasts. Thakur then started kissing her roommate, the alleged victim told police.

“Victim reports trying to wiggle from being underneath Thakur, and Thakur stated, ‘What did you say? You want me to suck your nipple?” the arrest affidavit states. “Thakur then lifted victim’s sports bra and bit her nipple.”

The victim said she tried to stop Thakur’s unwanted advances, putting her arms across her body, but she felt “very intoxicated and weak,” she told police.

Thakur then asked her roommate why they hadn’t “done this before,” according to the arrest affidavit, before proceeding to slap the victim in the face and call her “b—h” and “slut.” Thakur also “kept hitting” her roommate in the face with her vagina, the victim told police.

“Victim reports at this time she closed her eyes and tried to [be] somewhere else in her mind,” the arrest affidavit continued.
