CHAPEL HILL – UNC’s Department of Public Safety is searching for a man accused of sexually assaulting an individual at the SECU Family House on Old Mason Farm Road.

DPS sent out a message to campus through Alert Carolina on Saturday warning people of the incident that took place on Friday. According to DPS spokesperson, Randy Young, the victim was not a UNC student nor affiliated with the University. He said no other details were available at the time.

SECU Family House spokesperson, Janice McAdams, released a statement saying the incident involved a family and was not the result of a break-in. On Twitter, the SECU Family House said “it continues to be a safe place for our employees, guests, volunteers, and friends.”
