Woman sexually assaulted on Conklin Place Sunday

A man sexually assaulted a woman while she was walking with a group on Conklin Place early Sunday morning, according to an incident report.

The man pulled the victim toward him, kissing her as he touched her inappropriately, according to a statement by Madison Police Department spokesperson Joel DeSpain.

The man then asked for a “sexual encounter” with the woman, DeSpain said in the report. She shouted for him to stop, and another woman pulled her from the man.

The woman did not know the suspect or people in the group accompanying her, according to the report.

Police describe the suspect as a white male in his early 20s with shoulder-length wavy, brown hair. Witnesses last saw him wearing a black, Wisconsin T-shirt with dark jeans, according to the report.

Police could not confirm that the incident correlated with the sexual assault occurring the same morning in a University of Wisconsin-Madison residence hall.
