The LSU Police Department is looking for a man who allegedly posed as a University art student and attempted to take inappropriate photos of a female student in Patrick F. Taylor Hall on Tuesday. The woman was approached by a man who claimed to be an art student and wanted to take pictures of the woman, LSUPD said. He asked the woman to pose in different ways, but when the requests made the woman feel uncomfortable, she refused. The victim claimed that she was pushed by the suspect during the incident. The woman was able to escape and contact police. The man was wearing a white T-shirt with red writing and khaki shorts and was described as caucasian, about 18 to 22 years old, slim, standing at 5 feet 7 inches with short brown hair. LSUPD Spokesman Capt. Cory Lalonde said it is not known where the suspect fled, and the investigation will remain active. Anyone who witnessed the incident or has information on the suspect is encouraged to contact LSUPD at (225) 578-3231.
