The hall provost confirmed that the accused student’s two mobile phones have been seized and handed over to the committee convener. Furthermore, the hall administration has extended the deadline for additional complaints until Sunday to determine if there are further victims.

In a video statement provided to campus journalists, the accused student claimed that her classmates were aware of the man and had communicated with him previously.
