BERKELEY, Calif. – A 27-year-old man is in jail, accused by UC Berkeley<\/a> police of sexually assaulting an 11-year-old girl at a campus residence hall over the weekend.<\/p>\n The attack was reported early Saturday morning to campus police. KTVU is not naming the suspect because he has not been formally charged. The university says he is not a UC Berkeley employee.\u00a0<\/p>\n Suspect works at summer camp <\/p>\n What we know:<\/p>\n “The suspect in the case was actually some kind of staffer with a summer camp,” said Emilie Raguso of the Berkeley Scanner, who broke the news<\/a> that the suspect worked for a camp.<\/p>\n “Early indications are that it was a girl who was at a sleepover camp. What we don’t know yet is what camp was this,” Raguso said.<\/p>\n DA to review case <\/p>\n What’s next:<\/p>\n He is being held at Santa Rita Jail in Dublin in lieu of $425,000 bail. Alameda County<\/a> prosecutors will review the case to determine whether he will formally be charged.<\/p>\n A woman believed to be a relative of the suspect hung up on a KTVU reporter when asked for comment on Monday.<\/p>\n In an alert to the UC Berkeley community, campus police wrote in part, “The incident was initially reported to UCPD as an attempted sexual assault in a residence hall. Through subsequent investigation, UCPD determined that the incident was a completed sexual assault, rather than an attempted one.”<\/p>\n But authorities would not specify which residence hall was involved, citing a federal law that protects victims of sexual assault.<\/p>\n Alleged attack happened at Foothill housing complex <\/p>\n What we know:<\/p>\n KTVU, however, has learned the incident was reported at the Foothill housing complex, a series of wood-shingled buildings surrounded by trees near Hearst Avenue and Gayley Road in the northeast part of the campus.<\/p>\n “From our perspective, it’s devastating to hear that an 11-year-old” was reportedly victimized, said Steve Ravellette, president of Safe Bears,” a group of UC Berkeley parents concerned about campus safety. He has a daughter at the university and says the incident raises questions about potential liability.\u00a0<\/p>\n “It’s on a campus property and in what respect is the university, what type of control that they have in terms of requirements for camps coming in,” Ravellette said.<\/p>\n On Monday, a group of parents and potential students were out on a campus tour near Sather Gate, including Lisa Marshall and her son Hunter of Walnut Creek.<\/p>\n “Absolutely, it’s concerning, but this isn’t the only college that I would have heard that something like this has happened,” Lisa Marshall said. “So I think it’s about educating the kids that are going to be going to school there and making sure that the campus does everything they can to prevent something like that.”<\/p>\n Hunter Marshall said, “Of course, I do think they should be doing background checks and things like that, but I don’t think it necessarily affects whether I want to go to a school like this.”<\/p>\n Henry Lee is a KTVU crime reporter.
