The University police is seeking a riding groper on campus.
Students received phone calls, e-mails and text message alerts on Thursday, Sept. 4 about an unknown male who, on two separate incidents, grabbed girls’ buttocks while passing on his bicycle at the Modesto Maidique Campus.
The first incident took place by the Wertheim Conservatory at about 10:00 p.m on June 24. The other incident happened by the Green Library breezeway at about 10:50 p.m. on September 2.
Police described the suspect as a “thin white male,” according to a University wide email sent out by External Relations.
FIU police have not confirmed that the two cases are related, but according to the e-mail, “these two incidents are related they are similar enough in the description of the perpetrator and actions that they warrant informing our community of these occurrences.”
To help further investigation, the FIUPD asks students with additional information to contact them at 305-348-2626 or online at the FIUPD website.
