Man caught inside women’s restrooms

Two occurrences have been reported of a male suspect going into a women’s restroom on campus and peering under occupied stalls in the last two weeks.

Both of these incidents occurred on the second floor of the 400 building.

The most recent incident happened last Thursday at approximately 8:25 p.m. A male suspect entered the restrooms and attempted to look under the occupied stall. The description of the suspect was male with dark hair and dark shoes, possibly navy.

The first incident happened on Thursday, March 20 at approximately 6:40 p.m. in the same restroom. The suspect also attempted to peek under the occupied stall. The description of the suspect was male, Asian, around 20-25 years old, short dark hair, wearing a red shirt and black pants.

Campus Safety has already put out timely warnings to alert everyone on campus. They are taking precautions and cannot give out details since it is an ongoing investigation.

“I feel safe during the day but at night I don’t,” said Summer Acosta, music major.

Campus Safety coordinator Jim McKamy advises to be aware of your location and have a clear description of the suspect ready and contact Campus Safety if necessary.

“Have the emergency number of Campus Safety saved on your cellphone,” McKamy said. “Watch your surroundings and call if you see anything suspicious.”

With these warnings in mind, female students may feel a little less secure while on campus.

“This is both disgusting and alarming. I have pepper spray that I carry with me on my keys,” said Hannah Dodson, art history major. “I usually only take it out when I walk to my car but now I’ll carry it around with me all the time.”

If the suspect is revealed to be a student, he will be turned in to the dean of student services but if he is not a student, he will be turned in to the Fullerton Police.

If you see anyone who matches the description of the suspect, contact Campus Safety at (714) 992-7080, extension 0. Students and employees should report any suspicious activity to Campus Safety.
