STORRS — - Lauren Walker could hear parts of conversations from dorm rooms as she walked through the halls of her University of Connecticut dorm this weekend.

Everyone seemed to be talking about the rape that happened just off campus Saturday, she said.

The campus has been abuzz with talk about the sexual assault — the second involving a UConn student this month — since students found out about it in a university issued e-mail.

UConn police said the sexual assault happened about 2:28 a.m. inside an apartment at the Celeron Square complex on Hunting Lodge Road. The attacker apparently forced his way into the apartment and assaulted a sleeping woman. Police arrested UConn student Frank P. Cirillo, 21, of Woodbridge shortly after, when they found him partially clothed, allegedly trying to force his way into another apartment.
