According to the statement published on the university’s Facebook page and sent out in a campus-wide email, the alleged victim stated that a male ran up behind her, grabbed her buttocks and then ran toward Walnut Grove.

She stated that the suspect’s race was unknown but he was “tall, thin and wearing a gray hoodie and dark pants.”
