A UA employee reported that she had been sexually abused on June 19 at about 6 p.m. while sitting in her car.
The victim told police she had just left her office near the library and was sitting in her car preparing to leave when she saw a white sports car pull up next to her car. A man got out of his car, greeted her and told her his name. The victim responded, thinking it might be a student she knew.
They carried on a short conversation and the suspect asked for her phone number. The victim agreed and wrote the number on a piece of paper. When the suspect approached her to get the paper, he pulled down the straps of her dress and grabbed her left breast before she could respond. He then got into his car and drove away.
She memorized the license plate number and gave police a description of the suspect. She did not report the incident to police until the next day because she did not want to make a big deal out of it.
Police traced the license plate to a man matching the name given to the victim. When UAPD called, they were told the person did not live there.
The case is pending.
