Man arrested for touching female students

MIAMI, Nov. 7 (UPI) -- A 21-year-old man was arrested for allegedly inappropriately touching several female University of Miami students in their dormitory rooms, police say.

Miami-Dade police arrested Jiahao Yuan, a UM student from China, Sunday and charged him with two counts of occupied burglary with assault or battery, The Miami Herald reported.

Yuan allegedly entered the Mahoney Residential College dorm around 6 a.m., entered two dorm rooms that were unlocked and "inappropriately" touched female students as they slept, police said.

The first time, the student woke up and Yuan ran into another room, an e-mail alert sent out by the university said. After the second incident, Yuan ran away from the building.

The students immediately contacted authorities, the alert said.

Police found Yuan by using security camera footage, police spokeswoman Sgt. Janette Frevola said. Yuan was arrested at 12:30 p.m.

Police said Yuan gave a full confession. He is being held at Miami-Dade's Pretrial Detention Center without bond.
