Another woman reported that she was groped from behind on campus early Sunday morning near the Mathematical Sciences Building. She told police she struck the assailant and then ran away, using an emergency call box for help.
The woman, who is not a UCF student and who lives out of state, is not cooperating with police, investigators said. Police said there is a lack of independent information that corroborates her report, so detectives will soon close the case.
