University police are investigating a report of a man allegedly entering a sorority house on 862 Hilgard Ave. on Sunday.

The suspect, described as a Hispanic man who is 5 feet 8 inches and 180 pounds, was in the house around 3 a.m., according to a police statement released Tuesday.

The man touched a student’s face in her bedroom around 3:45 a.m., said the student, who asked to remain anonymous for privacy reasons.

When she woke up, she said he was standing in the doorway watching her. She at first thought it was a dream, but felt uneasy about the situation and woke up her roommate. The man then fled from the room.

Residents in an apartment complex next to the house reportedly saw the man leaving the house at 3 a.m. through its emergency exit door. The student said she believes the man re-entered the house shortly after, possibly through the emergency exit.

The student, who is also a Daily Bruin staffer, did not report the incident until noon. She said she did not want to alert the police or the sorority’s house mom if nothing had occurred.

“I didn’t want to believe an intruder was in our house,” she said. “I wanted to believe it was somebody drunk or a girl sneaking in her boyfriend.”

No other students were touched by the man. Photos were also reportedly taken from inside the house and thrown outside.

Another incident occurred at apartments on Hilgard Avenue on Thursday at midnight. A man, described as white, 6 foot and 175 pounds, was allegedly seen checking door handles of the apartments and trying to enter. The events may or may not be related, according to the report.

University police recommend students routinely lock doors and windows and report any suspicious activity.

Anyone with information about either incident should contact UCPD at 310-825-1491.
