About a week ago, a similar incident was also reported in the same dormitory. The victim in that case described the suspect as a man in his 20s wearing a black baseball hat, black shirt with neon green writing, red underwear, and black loose-fitting jeans.

Surveillance video showed someone with a similar description walking early Thursday morning in Comstock Hall, which is a few blocks west of Frontier Hall on the East Bank campus.
