Police are investigating an alleged sexual assault that took place at

Golden West College, while it was closed Monday for the Presidents Day

holiday.

A woman alleges that she met a male in his 40s at the Del Taco

restaurant across the street from campus. They walked across the street

to the campus and to the a stairwell near Building No. 6 when the man

allegedly tried to assault her, said Sgt Gary Meza, of the Huntington

Beach Police Department.

“They had apparently just met,” Meza said. “The college was closed so

he was probably looking for an area with not a lot of traffic. She was

afraid he was going to hurt her, but she was not hurt.”

Police said the victim was older than 18 but couldn’t give a specific

age.

Police described the suspect as male, 5-feet-8 inches tall with a

medium build, black hair and wearing a red, white and blue long-sleeved

shirt, blue jeans and sandals with no socks.

Anyone with more information is asked to call (714) 536-5951.
