A man was arrested Thursday afternoon for exposing himself in a parking lot. This incident increase the number of sex related crime Spring Semester to five.
The Ohio University Police Department arrested a male Thursday afternoon after he publicly exposed himself in OU’s parking lot 122.
The male was transported to the Southeastern Ohio Regional Jail, according to OUPD’s police report log.
This is the second sex offense-related report OUPD has received this month, and the fifth for Spring Semester.
The semester’s first report of a sex offense — a case of sexual imposition — occurred during the first week of Spring Semester on Jan. 15.
According to police reports, three males approached a female OU student walking down Jeff Hill at 12:55 a.m. One male touched her breast and buttocks and all three males followed her back to her East Green dorm, where she shut the door on them.
The next day, OUPD received another report of sexual imposition.
A female OU student reported she was walking north on the sidewalk between South Green Drive and North McKinley Avenue when a white man ran up behind her and touched her buttocks, and quickly ran away from the scene.
The third report took place on Jan. 18, when a female was allegedly raped in Wilson Hall on West Green.
All three of those reports remain active, according to OUPD’s website.
The fourth report occurred March. 8, after a female Ohio University student filed a report accusing Brian L. Goody, 40, of sexual imposition.
Goody was the first sexual imposition case to result in arrest Spring Semester.
Additionally, two reports of rape were filed during the Fall Semester and also remain active cases, according to OUPD’s website.
