Police searching for man they say groped 3 people around GSU campus

ATLANTA — There is an urgent warning for people who attend, live or work near Georgia State University after police say a man groped at least three women on and near campus in just days.

GSU police said two female students were groped in the area of Langdale Hall and Library South.

Investigators told Channel 2's Audrey Washington they believe the suspect has struck again -- this time, along Auburn Avenue.

“It’s really scary to me, that’s too much,” GSU sophomore Anjanae Cutno said.

Police released surveillance photos of the man who they believe is responsible for the incidents.

“He’s gross and people who do that are gross,” GSU freshman Claudia Hysa said.

Investigators said the man groped two university students on Monday and a third woman just recently called Atlanta police after a man – matching the description of the GSU suspect -- grabbed her backside along nearby Auburn Avenue.

Judging by the surveillance pictures, many people on campus think he might be a fellow student.

“Yeah obviously, because every student here has a backpack, so definitely can look like a student,” student Ernest Mujaambure told Washington.

Police are still working to identify the suspect. Whether he’s a student is still unclear.

In the meantime, students say they are keeping a close eye out.

“I carry pepper spray. Also, I think that’s a good tool,” Hysa said.

"Carry your Taser, stay cautious, protected and aware of your surroundings and watch your back,” was Cutno’s advice.

GSU police are reminding students to be aware of their surroundings. They also say any student can request an escort if that student feels uncomfortable or unsafe while walking around campus.
