Timely Warning – Stalking and Sexual Assault – ARREST MADE

• The suspect was described by the reporting parties as a male in his late teens or 20s, approximately 5'5"-6’ tall, with curly, black hair and dark colored eyes.  Clothing descriptions have varied in the separate incidents. 
  
• The suspect was arrested and booked into jail.
  
• These incidents are currently under investigation by the UC San Diego Police Department.
  

• Sexual assaults are never the fault of the survivor and keeping UC San Diego safe is everyone’s responsibility.
  
• Receive affirmative consent before engaging in sexual activity. Consent is voluntary and it must be given without coercion, force, threats, or intimidation and can be withdrawn at any time.
  
• Perpetrators may attempt to use alcohol and/or drugs to facilitate a sexual assault. Alcohol or drugs is never an excuse for choosing to violate another person.
  
• Several drugs may be added to beverages that may alter the consciousness or incapacitate a person without their knowledge. Drugs and alcohol can produce amnesia, leaving a victim unclear about what occurred afterward. These drugs can be used for criminal activity like sexual misconduct or sexual assault.
  
• Ignorance of the law or of University policy is never a defense.
  
• You can help stop sexual assaults by identifying common behaviors that often precede sexual assault, and taking action if you see those behaviors happening. Recognizable red flags include seeing someone who is: 

• trying to separate an intoxicated individual from their friends;
  
• persistently pursuing an individual even when they make it clear they are not interested; or
  
• using threats of violence to force an individual to do something they do not want to do.
