A man will be in court Monday accused of sexually assaulting a UNC Charlotte student in her dorm room.
School official told Channel 9 student safety is a priority. Blue lights around campus point out where students can call campus police.
But police say the victim never had a chance to call them because she was sleeping at the time of the attack.
Police told Channel 9 the victim’s roommate invited the suspect, Damien Pruitt, 21, into a dorm room Thursday night.
Police: Arrest made in connection with alleged sexual assault at UNCC
Later that night, police said Pruitt climbed into bed with one of the student’s roommates and tried to sexually assault her.
