A man who allegedly groped six women on the Brigham Young University campus this weekend was arrested, university police said.
Police did not name the suspect but said he admitted the five weekend attacks, reports FOX 13. Police said he was in his 20s, lived in Provo and was a college student.
According to BYU’s police crime log, the first attack occurred around 12:15 on Helaman Drive near the Cannon Center. the second at 1:00 pm at the Helaman Halls Residences between the Cannon Center and Taylor Hall; the third around 2 p.m. on Campus Drive near the Marriott Center; and the fourth around 2:40 p.m. near the Life Sciences Building.
On Monday, another victim reported that she was fondled, apparently by the same man, on Saturday.
A sixth victim came in on Monday evening to report that she, too, had been groped on Sunday afternoon. According to Provo Police Sgt. Nisha King, the victim, said she was attacked right outside the BYU campus.
Provo police believe the same suspect was involved.
