UCLA student sexually assaulted in her campus room; suspect on the loose

WESTWOOD, LOS ANGELES (KABC) — Police are searching for a suspect accused of sexually assaulting a UCLA student in her on-campus dorm.

The attack occurred at about 2:40 a.m. Friday morning at the Saxon Suites student housing complex in the 300 block of De Neve Drive, according to UCLA police.

“The suspect entered the victim’s bedroom while she was lying in bed. The suspect sexually assaulted her and then left the room in an unknown direction,” a police press release said.

Police described the suspect as a white man in his 30s, with a heavy build and a curly beard. He was dressed all in black and wore a beanie hat, police said.

The victim received medical treatment on site.

“There are windows on each side of an apartment and I heard he came in through the window, which is the easiest way to get in,” said UCLA student Kyla Nassir.

Although it is summer break at UCLA, some students attend summer school and other summer programs.

Anyone with information about the case is asked to call UCLA Police at 310-825-1491.
