According to Legal Dictionary, “Sexual battery is a term describing a sexual crime that involves criminal sexual contact or touching. The difference between sexual battery and rape is that sexual battery does not involve intercourse or other kinds of forced sexual penetration.”

Really? Hoodie and jammies seems to be pretty much the waking uniform nowadays.

I’m surprised age isn’t yet considered politically incorrect like the missing gender & race is in the bolo.

I don’t care how many people this person sexually assaults, it is not worth being culturally insensitive to apprehend them. That’s backwoods thinking and needs to be torn down along with McKinley statue!!!

“I don’t care how many people this person sexually assaults”….WHAT?!!! ‘”Culturally insensitive”, I think you need to rethink your sensitivity, Mike. We wouldn’t want to hurt anyones feelings-wonder how the woman who was grabbed felt at the time and how she’ll feel next time she needs to walk across campus in the dark. I can tell you: terrified, scared for her life. “Backwoods thinking”…..FOR REAL?!! Take a look at your thinking.

Describing the appearance of who did this to her isn’t “culturally insensitive”, it’s the truth, as best as she remembers it-not sure what it’s worth if they find who did it anyways.

I hope so, it’s sometimes difficult to discern satire from ignorance when misogyny runs so deep in our culture.

Missing gender or missing sex? None of us really operate on gender.

Have you seen how elderly people here act in relation to the term “elderly” here.

Less than one block from where I went to grade school. There were sexual predators even back then. Times haven’t changed much, as far as these types of assaults/batteries are concerned. Very sad.

Was it a man or woman, white, black, brown red, yellow? Not much to go on here.

Please unbury your head from the sand. While I will grant that the vast majority is committed by men, your broad generalization is a pretty ignorant comment.

I am a male and have had women grab my butt, touch my chest and stroke my hair unwarranted. So yeah it happens.

P.s. I hope the fashion police get involved.

The search engines are scrubbing the info, due to political correctness of listing genders I suppose, but it does and has happened. Recent case that is next to impossible to scrub from the mind, so be forewarned.

Nonsense. The image of the man who flashed me is burned into my mind decades later. He had gray hair and mustache, was wearing a dark blue or black zippered jacket and brown pants. On the other hand his prick was not anything else but a prick I was not interested in viewing. Get real.

Thank You HSU!!! Thanks for the timely notice of the sick predator. I was attending HSU back in maybe ’92 or so when we had a serial rapist attacking women on campus. HSU buried this inconvenient fact as a public relations strategy. People did not know, women walked alone at dark like it was all safe, more women were attacked, HSU still didn’t say anything and finally we had to march on the campus police station! The call button system was set up and students were informed it was not so safe….I’m very glad to see that HSU has changed their protocol. An informed student body is the best protection. It’s really up to the decent people to look out for each other and we need info.

Yes please. Try just being another human being instead of some group with an agenda that alienates the other half.

Men can go first with the treat the other half like people and don’t alienate them with aggressive behavior. They can show us womenfolk how it’s done since we’re getting it all wrong.
