University of Maryland police say at least one student was sexually assaulted just after midnight Saturday morning when she and other women stripped to their underwear to swim in a campus fountain.
The group of female students placed their clothing and property alongside the McKeldin Mall fountain while they took a dip. A group of eight to 10 men and women found them in the fountain and took their property.
One woman reported that a man grabbed her buttocks.
The thieves fled, leaving a trail of the women’s belongings behind them. Most of the property was recovered, police said.
The University of Maryland Department of Public Safety is investigating the crime.
