USC student pleads not guilty to raping woman on campus

LOS ANGELES (AP) - A University of Southern California student has pleaded not guilty to drugging and raping a woman in a dorm room.

Twenty-year-old Armann Premjee entered pleas Tuesday to rape by use of drugs and sexual penetration by a foreign object. He could face up to 10 years in prison if convicted.

Prosecutors say the business administration major sexually assaulted a 19-year-old woman in her campus dorm room sometime after 1 a.m. on April 1.

Authorities say he left after the victim’s roommate walked in and confronted him.

USC says it’s cooperating with the investigation.
