Police spokeswoman Diane Brown said Thursday that police talked to one man and said his behavior was not criminal.
“We identified one individual, spoke with him, told him he was making people uncomfortable with his behavior and asked him to stop,” Brown said.
All of the reports were made to Housing Security and no police reports were filed, Brown said. Women reported a man coming up to them, saying they were pretty and asking them out on a date. On more than one occasion, the man attempted to kiss the women.
Brown said none of the women wanted to file police reports and there was no element of a crime in any of the incidents.
However, Brown said the individual who has been identified may not be the only person who has approached women on campus in a similar way. She said the man who police talked to mainly spoke with women in the North Campus area, but other reports of similar behavior have come from Central Campus as well.
“It’s unlikely that it was one individual,” Brown said.
