2 colleges warn of sexual abuse attacks as viral videos show women confronting possible suspect

CHICAGO — College students at two faculties are being warned a couple of man who’s sexually abusing girls on or close to their campuses within the Loop and Rogers Park. The alerts issued by Loyola College and Columbia Faculty come as two girls individually posted movies of a person they mentioned sexually abused them at CTA stations—one within the Loop and the opposite in Lincoln Park.

Loyola officers mentioned three feminine college students reported {that a} man grabbed them on Monday night. He first grabbed a girl on the entrance entrance of Mertz Corridor, 1125 West Loyola, round 8:37 p.m., based on the college.

The person proceeded to the constructing’s north stairs and touched one other lady a couple of minute later. A 3rd scholar reported that he touched her on the nook of Loyola and Sheridan round 8:41 p.m.

Loyola, which doesn’t embrace the race of crime suspects in its neighborhood alerts, mentioned he “was final seen carrying a gray and black puffy coat, khaki shade pants, white sneakers, and carrying a brightly coloured buying bag.”

Columbia Faculty informed its neighborhood of the same incident within the Loop on Tuesday. The college mentioned Chicago police are investigating an incident wherein a person grabbed a girl’s “decrease physique” outdoors the Harold Washington Library round 9:30 a.m. Columbia didn’t present an outline of the offender.

On Wednesday, @Chicago_Goofies tweeted two movies wherein girls confront the identical man for grabbing their non-public areas: one on the Fullerton station in Lincoln Park and the opposite at State-Lake within the Loop.

Notably, the Fullerton station is positioned in the course of the DePaul College campus. Nevertheless, that college has not introduced any incidents involving its neighborhood.

In each movies, the person is carrying clothes just like the outline supplied by Loyola. It’s unclear if that is the person accountable for the Loyola incidents. Opinion: The college’s coverage of not releasing a suspect’s race does neither it nor the general public any favors right here.

Listed below are the 2 movies. Bear in mind that there are some obscenities.
