Arizona State University police say they are investigating a sexual assault that occurred Monday in a dorm room on the Tempe campus after the victim and attacker met on a social media platform.
The assault was at least the fourth sexual assault occurring this semester in an ASU campus residence hall according to ASU police.
Authorities believe the suspect may have lied about his age or identity online to meet.
The suspect was described only as a Hispanic male, between 40-45 years of age.
The attack followed a pattern similar to three previous attacks at ASU residence halls this semester.
On Sept. 14, a woman reported being sexually assaulted in a residence hall on the Tempe campus by a man she met through a dating app, according to police. The attacker was described as a white male, about 18 with a skinny build.
A month later, a similar attack was reported in a Tempe campus residence hall on Oct. 17, where the victim met the attacker on a social media platform. The attacker, in that case, was described as a Hispanic male, about 19 years old, about 5 feet, 9 inches tall and 200 pounds.
On Oct. 26, another sexual assault was reported on ASU's Polytechnic campus in Mesa, also occurring in a residence hall after the two had met via social media. The suspect was described as being about 20 years old, with a muscular build, standing around 5 feet, 5 inches tall and 200 pounds, with brown hair and eyes.
In each case, ASU police have issued a warning to students about taking precautions because would-be attackers often will use social media platforms to meet potential victims.
Anyone with information is encouraged to call ASU police at 480-965-3456.
