UCLA Police Department

Content Warning: This Timely Warning includes descriptions of sexual violence.

In an effort to promote campus safety and provide timely information to our campus community, the following information is being provided so that you can make informed decisions about your safety. We encourage all community members to care for their needs and well-being while reading this message, especially those who have been impacted by similar forms of violence.

Report

The UCLA Police Department received notice of a report of a fondling that occurred at 600 Block of Gayley Avenue on 10-03-2025 12:00 AM. The exact time of the incident is unknown. The suspect was previously named in a similar report.  

Title IX is managing the response to this report, and is providing affected parties with resources, rights and options. If you have information that might assist in the response, please contact Title IX at 310-206-3417.

UCPD reminds the campus community of the following: 

  • If you start to feel concerns about a person or a situation, trust your instincts and try to remove yourself as quickly as possible from the potential threat, even if it is someone you know and even if it feels awkward to leave.
  • If you are going out alone, make sure that someone knows where you are going, who you will be with, and when you expect to return.
  • Alcohol is frequently used to facilitate sexual violence by reducing a person’s ability to respond effectively, impairing memory, and increasing feelings of self-doubt or blame. When drinking, consider your surroundings, be aware of personal limits, and look after friends who appear to be intoxicated.  
  • If you think someone is at risk of assault or abuse, you should consider it an emergency and act to support that person. You can call the police or ask for help from other people, intervene directly if safe, or create a distraction to help remove the potential victim from the situation.

UCPD shares these safety tips while recognizing that perpetrators, and not the victims or survivors, are solely responsible for their actions.

Consent:

  • Do not engage in sexual activity without affirmative consent from your partner. Consent is a clear and freely given “Yes,” not the absence of “No.”
  • You must continually get consent for sexual activity. It is your responsibility to make sure you have affirmative and ongoing consent from your partner.
  • People who are incapacitated by alcohol or drugs cannot give consent.

WHAT IS THIS NOTICE?  
In compliance with the Clery Act, Timely Warnings are issued by the UCLA Police Department when certain (Clery Act) crimes occurring on campus property, properties controlled by campus-affiliated organizations, or public property immediately adjacent to campus are determined to be a serious or continuing threat to the campus community. Timely Warnings are intended to prevent similar crimes and to provide information that will assist community members in protecting themselves. A Timely Warning is not the same as a BruinALERT. A BruinALERT is an Emergency Notification for situations involving an immediate threat to the health or safety of students or employees.

Information reported in a Timely Warning may not have been investigated or confirmed at the time of the issuance of the warning, and physical descriptions of a suspect will be included only if there are enough details to distinguish the suspect’s appearance from the general population. Descriptions of suspect(s) - including traits such as race, ethnicity, and gender - are provided by witnesses, victims, and/or investigative steps and are NOT considered the basis for suspicion; only behaviors are considered suspicious.
