Female Jogger Sexually Assaulted Near Stanford University Campus

The suspect was armed with a semi-automatic handgun and described in detail by police; the victim reported the assault two hours after it occurred, authorities said.

  • On Sunday, an armed suspect allegedly assaulted a woman jogging near the Stanford University campus at approximately 6:15 p.m. near Mayfield Avenue and Santa Ynez Street, just south of Campus Drive.
  • Police are searching for a dark-skinned male with brown eyes, short hair, and clean-shaven appearance who reportedly wore a light blue hoodie, dark jeans, and carried a semi-automatic handgun in his waistband.
  • The victim told officers that the man grabbed her and pushed her into a landscaped area near a house, where she was sexually assaulted; she reported the incident to the Stanford University Department two hours later, at 8:25 p.m.
  • Authorities do not know if the woman is affiliated with the University, and anyone with information is encouraged to call the Stanford University Department at 329-2413.
  • Stanford University officials emphasized the school does not tolerate sexual assault and encourages reporting misconduct; this follows the 2016 conviction of Brock Turner, a Stanford swimmer, for sexual assault on campus.
