Really hope they catch this guy – this report is horrifying. So much sympathy to the victim.
Great picture Columbia security. Looks like an Impressionist painting. You might want to upgrade those cameras.
They’ve released a better picture. https://www.columbia.edu/cu/publicsafety/Alert-w52-AttemptedRape_2014-10-30-update.pdf
And made an arrest, thank goodness!! Now… I can’t be the only one hoping Columbia starts taking all reported sexual assaults this seriously., with appropriate support and credence to the women involved…
