Following the Nov. 15 University of Oregon Police Department’s Crime Alert about an individual sexually assaulting two victims on and around UO campus, a suspect has been identified, according to UO Spokesperson, Eric Howald.
On the morning of Nov. 14, UOPD received reports of an individual offering two victims candy before sexually assaulting them on and around campus.
“A UOPD investigation and the help of a third witness identified the suspect,” Howald said.
Howald also said that the individual has been “removed from the community” and the filing of criminal charges is currently on hold.
“The community is safe from this individual, but we continue to encourage victims to report incidents of harassment whenever they arise,” Howald said.
According to Howald, a victim would need to agree to press charges to further the investigation.
