Multiple male victims have reported being sexually assaulted by a male suspect in a series of nighttime incidents at residences near the University of Virginia, according to police and university officials.
Larceny is not a motive, and in each case victims reported awakening to find themselves being groped, officials said.
In a university email alert sent Thursday to all students, UVa Police Chief Michael A. Gibson described the suspect as a thin black male in his 20s or 30s who entered apartments through unlocked doors.
Charlottesville police said the first incident occurred on Sept. 29 on University Circle, followed by subsequent incidents on 17th Street Northwest on Oct. 15 and 22, and an incident on Virginia Avenue on Oct. 21. The last incident occurred on Nov. 13, according to city police, but many were not reported to police until the university sent out the email.
Due to the delay in the reporting of the cases, city police are asking anyone with similar incidents to contact the department immediately by calling police Detective Newberry at 970-3280 or Crime Stoppers at 977-4000.
In an email, UVa spokeswoman Carol Wood reminded students to be alert of their surroundings and to remember to lock windows and doors.
could I get some kind of ping here? Want to warn men in this area.
thanks.
UVa has a football team. Hopefully, this guy will try this on a linebacker or lineman. That would end the problem. You can’t grope with no arms.
UV anthropology project?
“UVa has a football team. Hopefully, this guy will try this on a linebacker or lineman. That would end the problem. You cant grope with no arms.”
I would kinda hope the linebacker or lineman would remove another body part to prevent further attacks.
O noes! This could generate homophobia!
(Or maybe guys could lock their doors ...)
That's how it works in the normal world. Then, you have Penn State.
“The number of males groped was not known as many of those assaulted were too embarrassed to make a report.”
That is the case with men.
Women too.
At least he prefers adult men.
And, while we’re on the subject.. why have none of his intended victims beaten the living crap out of him?
Who leaves their doors unlocked in an apartment building when going to sleep for the night? I live in outer exurbia and lock everything, not that there has ever been a problem, but people in general just aren’t as trustworthy as they once were, decades ago. It’s a real loss.
Something tells me they might have been drunk at the time, which would explain the unlocked doors. Maybe the perv is hanging out in Charlottesville bars looking for sloshed male college students.
Someone whose roommate wakes him up at 2:00 a.m. because he's forgotten his key again? Someone who's hoping women will sneak in and grope him?
But seriously, I lock up, too ... although it's kind of academic in nice weather when all the windows are open.
Was he mumbling "Gollum, Gollum?"
how is this guy still alive??
yuck...
No doubt about it. He is a sexual predator. These men are dangerous.
I thought Jerry Sandusky was under house arrest in PA.
