After two indecent sexual acts were reported at Vancouver Island University last Thursday, police have revealed that six similar incidents date back to mid-January. The incidents include indecent exposure and fondling of women. Victims are women aged 20 to 30.
In an attempt to catch perpetrators using decoys, VIU and Nanaimo RCMP chose not to make the information public before last week—a move students are now questioning.
The attacks have led to boosted patrols and safe-walk programs. VIU has launched awareness campaigns. Police are still searching for suspects.
