Man accused of sexually assaulting seven women in 30 minutes at Huddersfield University

A 29-year-old man has been accused of sexually assaulting seven women on the campus of the University of Huddersfield, in England, over a 30-minute period. The events occurred on Tuesday between 6:00 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. The authorities were alerted to the events by the educational center staff after learning that a man was approaching the women to touch them.

According to police, the women managed to escape from the suspect "after he approached and grabbed them." The man, Sophan Akbash, was arrested and charged with nine counts of sexual assault this Friday after being brought to justice, according to The Guardian.

"We continue to work closely with the university to provide reassurance to students and staff, and we remain fully committed to supporting victims and protecting those who live, study and work in Huddersfield," authorities said after the events.
