Edina High grad charged with sexually assaulting women in Madison

An Edina High School graduate who attends the University of Wisconsin is expected to be charged this week with sexually assaulting four women while investigators look into additional cases.

Nine criminal charges filed last week against Alec R. Cook, a 2014 Edina High School graduate, include second degree sexual assault with the use of force, strangulation and suffocation, battery and false imprisonment, according to documents filed in Dane County Court. Three other women later came forward alleging they also were sexually assaulted by Cook, 20, a college senior. Charges in those cases are expected to be filed Thursday.

Campus police, who investigated one case that occurred on campus, are investigating “multiple” other complaints against Cook, said spokesman Marc Lovicott. Those investigations are “ongoing,” and more charges could be filed later this week, he said.
