article<\/a> by ABC13 Houston.<\/p>\nAs she walked past him, Love approached her and reached towards her chest, to which she moved away from and his hand hit her shoulder instead, the student said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The victim returned to her co-workers and they accompanied her to the car. The man later came running up and grabbed her chest. Her co-workers then alerted campus police.<\/p>\n
The suspect was identified as a 25-year-old Marcus Love who was arrested and charged with indecent assault, said UHPD.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The court records show Love has three prior convictions this year for theft of less than $2,500. The documents connected to those cases refer to him as homeless.\u00a0<\/p>\n
However, Love appeared to be well-groomed and did not immediately stand out as someone who did not belong on campus, the victim said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Love is confirmed to not be affiliated with UH as a student or an employee.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe University of Houston is committed to the safety and security of our students, faculty and staff,\u201d said a University spokesperson. \u201cAs a public, state-supported institution of higher education, our campus is open to the community we serve. However, being a public campus does not mean we tolerate individuals who violate the law.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
UHPD officers have also issued a criminal trespass warning prohibiting Love from lawfully returning to campus property, UH spokesperson said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The student believes campus security is good, but urges students and staff members to report any suspicious behavior, according to the article.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe continuously evaluate and adjust our security measures \u2014 including physical security infrastructure, technology and active officer patrols \u2014 to maintain a safe environment for everyone while fulfilling our mission as a public university,\u201d the spokesperson said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
