Safety Concerns Surge Following Trespassing & Sexual Assault Incident at Arizona State University

A student at Barrett Honors College reports that a man entered her dorm room and made sexual advances toward her while she was sleeping.

"Students at Barrett Honors College are concerned that [the perpetrator] was able to get inside the building," reports 12 News. The assailant had been mistakenly buzzed into the building by a front desk employee, who has since been fired.

The incident shows that dorm security measures are not ironclad, and each student should have a means to defend themselves inside the building. Dorm inhabitants can equip their room with a portable security alarm set and campus safety pepper gel.
