An alert was sent out to the University of Cincinnati community overnight on Wednesday after someone was inappropriately touched at a building on campus.

Police are looking for a black male, described as around 17 years old, 5'9" inches tall and weighing between 140 and 150 pounds.

Police say the suspect followed the victim from Martin Luther King Drive to the Geology-Physics building, where he sexually touched the victim in the stairwell.
