Authorities are looking for a man in connection with sexual assault at the UC Irvine campus earlier this month.
The sexual assault on May 16th at about 11pm was reported at Camino Del Sol Student Apartments on Arroyo Drive. Police issued a statement the following day, as students were walking around the housing complex, a man said he had shoved them into the ground and raped them.
The attackers were described only as men aged 35-40 with dark hair and medium builds. The man was believed to be driving a dark coloured Acura.
The university said it had increased patrols and encouraged students to walk in groups whenever possible. The university also offers a campus escort program.
Anyone with information was urged to contact campus police.
