Man breaks into The Statesider, assaults residents

Police have not yet identified a suspicious man who breached security at The Statesider residence hall Sunday and harassed several women, including climbing into bed with one of them, before stealing money from a resident, according to a police report.

Madison Police Department spokesperson Joel DeSpain said in a statement the man made it passed security at approximately 2:15 a.m. by telling the front desk clerk he was visiting a friend in the building, located at 505 N. Frances St.

According to the report, the suspect sexually assaulted a female resident on the elevator, made “lewd comments” to several women in the building and DeSpain said one 18-year-old girl “awoke to find the stranger in her bed.”

MPD has not yet identified the man, who DeSpain describes in the report as slender and African-American.
