He got into the victim's bed and started to touch her inappropriately. The victim screamed, and the suspect fled from the area in an unknown direction.\n\nIf you have any information, please contact the Ann Arbor Police department, Detective Steven Van Alstine at 734-794-6930 ext 49317 or the Ann Arbor Police Department Tip Line (734) 794-6939 or tips@a2gov.org or the Division of Public Safety & Security at (734) 763-1131\nRemember:\n\n- Keep all exterior doors and windows locked\n- Keep exterior lights on at night\n- If you see something, say something. Report suspicious behavior. Call 911\n- Confidential Tip Line 1-800-863-1355Sexual assault is any sexual activity that occurs in the absence of consent. Responsibility lies with the perpetrator, not the survivor - no one deserves, asks for, or provokes sexual assault. The University of Michigan Police Department has a Special Victims Unit that strives to provide a safe, caring environment where victims are empowered to take action. If you or someone you know has experienced sexual assault, we encourage you to report it to law enforcement.\n\nFor status updates to this alert, visit our website and follow us on Twitter and Facebook.",
