A registered sex offender who may have been living in a University of Memphis dormitory was arrested March 26 for allegedly raping a student on campus.
University police held 23-year-old Cortney Adkins, who has been a registered sex offender since 2010, on a $100,000 bond.
Memphis police said the alleged rape occurred within the Thomas G. Carpenter Student Housing Complex, apartment-style dorms adjacent to a university childcare facility and early childhood center.

A student who lives in Carpenter Complex at the University of Memphis typically pays about $3,000 for a room per semester, but some are getting the same lodging for free.
Since August 2011, three incidents of an unauthorized person using a vacant room in a residence hall have been documented on campus, according to Director of Residence Life Peter Groenendyk. Two of those took place in Carpenter Complex, the apartment-style housing on the north side of campus, across Central Avenue.
