At around 2:20 AM on November 22, a report of a man who broke into the girls' dorm and molested two female students brought police officers to the site. The 30-year-old man, who disguised himself with a cyclist gear, mask, and a helmet, broke a lock on the door of the main entrance, went up to the second floor, and molested the students who were sleeping, police reports say.�

The man had been previously arrested for committing 40 small thefts in several cities in the past year, and the police were able to draw a confession from him about the break in after noticing that the description of the perpetrator -- small stature, walking stance, and a flashlight he was carrying -- matched the man at the time of arrest.
