NC State police discuss assaults near campus
N.C. State Police Chief Daniel House speaks to the media about reported assaults at Wolf Village and a related arrest. A man arrested in connection with a Dec. 7 sexual assault at North Carolina State University was charged in another assault on Monday night, according to police. Hasan Abdullah Faheemud-Dean, 21, was arrested Monday night near the campus and charged with first-degree kidnapping, felony breaking and entering and second-degree forced sex offense in connection with an assault reported at Wolf Village Dec. 7. He is also a person of interest in a sexual battery incident that occurred Monday night, Dec. 12, in the parking lot of the Wolf Village Apartments. For that incident, he was charged with communicating threats. N.C. State sent a Wolf Alert to students before 1 a.m. Tuesday notifying them of the reported sexual battery on campus. It was the third sexual assault to be reported on N.C. State's campus in just two weeks, and the fifth so far this semester. N.C. State Police Chief Daniel House said surveillance cameras were able to capture video of the suspect in both incidents, leading investigators to believe it was the same person. In a press conference on Tuesday, House urged faculty, staff and visitors to not let anybody inside buildings that doesn't have an N.C. State identification card. "It's a public campus," he said. "So it's just really hard to pick and who is out of place and who isn't. But we really try to work hard if something just doesn't look right." The Dec. 7 assault was reported at Wolf Village Apartments in Arctic Hall. The non-student victim described the assailant as wearing black clothing with red and black sneakers. He was described as being 5 feet 6 inches with a slender build. The suspect in Monday night's assault matched the same description. "The description almost matched perfectly," police told WRAL News. "We are working this morning to pursue charges in last night's case." On Dec. 4, it was reported that a sexual assault occurred at the Lambda Chi fraternity house. The university did not say whether alleged attacker or survivor were members of the campus community, but did say patrols would be increased around the Lambda Chi Alpha house. NC State Police offer trainings, including rape aggression defense, as well as safety escorts for the campus community.
