On Friday evening, Saint Mary’s students were alerted to an exposure incident that occurred on the Avenue via an email from director of campus safety Phil Bambenek.
The email shared information on an ongoing investigation in which an anonymous student reported an indecent exposure incident that occurred while she was working on a project Wednesday afternoon.
In the email, Bambenek wrote, “The survivor of the incident reported that she was working on a project on the grass when a male hispanic 50 years of age approached her on a bicycle and initiated a conversation. At some point, she turned away and when she again looked at him, he had exposed himself.”
Bambenek added that the identified suspect is not a member of the tri-campus community.
Bambenek asked that those with questions or concerns regarding the incident contact Saint Mary’s Campus Safety. He also asked that anyone with information reach out to Campus Safety or the St. Joseph County Police Department.
This is the second incident reported at the College this year, following a sexual assault students were notified to on Oct. 5.
