Student arrested in fondling of 4 women

A University of Utah student was arrested Thursday for investigation of fondling four women.

Police began searching after receiving calls Thursday from the Madsen Clinic on campus reporting that a young man had fondled two women.

Just 20 minutes later, they received another call that a young woman at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints institute parking terrace on campus was fondled. University Police Sgt. Arb Nordgran said officers put together a small task force and located a suspect, an 18-year-old U. student.

While he was in custody, police heard about a fourth victim, a woman at the HPER Center, just north of the institute parking structure.

The 18-year-old student was arrested on suspicion of sexual battery, a class A misdemeanor.
