From the UOPD’s press release:

“Three women reported to UOPD that a man matching Jonas’s description physically harassed them at the university’s Knight Library on Oct. 1, 24 and 31. The women reported that the man claimed to be a massage or sports medicine student from Portland, and then touched their feet in a disturbing and sexual way. In the latter two cases, the women said that he initially ignored their demands for him to stop touching them, and that he appeared to be aroused during the encounters.”

The UOPD believes Jonas may have been involved in similar incidents and anyone with any information can contact the UOPD at 541-346-2919.
