DU Students On Alert After Another Forcible Fondling

DENVER (CBS4) - The University of Denver is alerting students after a woman was forcibly fondled at East Iliff Avenue and South Josephine Street early Thursday morning.

DU tweeted out the information at about 2 a.m. The area was searched but the suspect was not found.

This is now the third incident of its kind in just eight days around the DU campus.

Another forcible fondling incident occurred Sunday morning, when a woman was grabbed from behind at Asbury and Josephine before the suspect ran. The first one was reported a week ago Wednesday at High and Wesley.

In this most recent incident, the suspect is described as being a white male, 6-foot tall and wearing a black sweatshirt.

Students are advised to travel in groups and remain in well-lit areas. DU police are patrolling the perimeter of the campus both in vehicles and on foot.

"I just get frightened that if I'm walking home from somewhere at night, and our classes are later sometimes, I should be walking home through campus because I get scared if I'm walking on just one of the side streets because it's not monitored at all," said one DU student Kali Crossen.

"Absolutely, just among my friends we've been talking about walking our lady friends wherever they go and maybe seeing if this guy does try to appear that we would confront him," said DU student Brian Boback.
