Dorm intruder sought after sexual assault attempt against sleeping student

Unread post by waverider »

Tulane University police said they are investigating reports of a male intruder who attempted to sexually assault a student as she slept in her dorm room early Sunday (Aug. 22).

The department said the unidentified suspect entered three dorm rooms at Warren House at approximately 2:30 a.m. In the first room, he climbed on top of a female student sleeping under her covers and exposed himself. When the student screamed, the suspect fled the room.

Police said the same intruder then entered two other dorm rooms, “but did not do or say anything.”

The suspect was described as a “fit” man approximately 5-foot-7 in height, with short dark curly hair, brown eyes and without visible birthmarks or tattoos. He last was seen wearing a white Vineyard Vines-brand, short-sleeve t-shirt with a whale logo in American flag colors on the back, and dark-colored shorts.

Perp was a 19 year old Tulane student who lived in the dorm. Soon to be former student, I would assume.

Unless he has a good lawyer that will argue that he was drunk/drugged and mistakenly entered 3 different dorms looking for his own. He needs the lawyer and judge that the Stanford student had a few years back and he’ll be re-enrolled by Friday :?

Unfortunately history has proven that Tulane students often have lawyers who can do just what you are suggesting. See: Gimelstob, Joshua.

It was until literally this semester. I'm not sure the reason for the change, but I know for buildings like Warren the changes were made because more students were living on campus and the space was needed. That would be my guess for the change to JL as well.
