 sexual predator attacks 12th woman near UC campus\n\nBay City News 
 Service\nPosted: 02/23/2009 12:12:09 PM PST\n\nA sexual predator who is 
 targeting women wearing skirts near the University of California at 
 Berkeley campus has assaulted a 12th victim, police said today.\n\nThe 
 latest attack happened Friday at about 1 a.m.\nThe victim was walking alone 
 in the 2100 block of Haste Street near the university's South Campus when a 
 man came up behind her and attempted to grab her dress, police 
 said.\n\nWhen the man was unsuccessful, he continued walking past the woman 
 and then fled west on Durant Avenue and then south on Fulton Street.\n\nTwo 
 witnesses chased him and directed officers to where he was last seen, but 
 police were not able to find him, police said.\n\nWitnesses described the 
 suspect as a white man in his 20s about 5 feet 10 inches tall, weighing 160 
 to 170 pounds with a medium build and dark, wavy hair.\n\nHe is believed to 
 be responsible for 13 attacks on 12 victims in the area since September. 
 One victim was attacked twice in the same block in a two-and-a-half-month 
 period, according to Berkeley police spokesman Andrew Frankel.\nIn every 
 case, the suspect has walked up behind college-age women who were wearing 
 skirts, stuck his hands up their skirts and attempted to sexually molest 
 them, Frankel said.\n\nHe has been successful in seven of the 13 attacks, 
 Frankel said.\n\nAll of the attacks happened between 10 p.m. and 2:30 a.m., 
 Frankel said.\n\nPolice are asking for the community's help in catching the 
 suspect. Anyone who can identify him or who has witnessed an attack is 
 asked to call the Berkeley police Sex Crimes Detail at (510) 
 981-5735.\n\nPolice are also encouraging victims to report attacks 
 immediately to Berkeley police dispatch at (510) 981-5900.\n\n
