Last Thursday, Oct. 31, a female student was groped by an unknown man while walking on South High Street at 9:40 p.m. There are currently no suspects in the case.
According to Campus Safety Crime Prevention Sgt. Stephen Banet, the student was walking north on High Street near Nelson Hall and was approached by a man walking south who then grabbed the student by the waist and fondled her breasts before running away.
According to the crime alert sent to DU students by the Department of Campus Safety (DCS), the man is described as a Hispanic male approximately 23-27 years old, weighing about 160 pounds, with dark brown hair. He was wearing a red flannel shirt and blue jeans at the time of the attack.
According to Banet, campus security cameras captured what is believed to be the man’s car turning onto Warren Avenue. The car appears to be a silver four door sedan.
Banet says campus safety officers have been directed to increase patrol on High Street. Denver Police Department (DPD) is also involved in looking for the man responsible for the attack, and Denver Crime Stoppers is offering a $2,000 reward for any information from citizens which leads to an arrest of the man.
