Tuesday, about 5 p.m., near Wilber Hall, summer sessions were in session, and she claimed to have seen the man on campus previously. Brooke, a graduate student at Stanford, stated, “It’s unsettling and bizarre that it occurred in broad daylight.”
Summer classes are in session at Stanford, while most students return in late September. Brooke reported that the incident occurred near her residence.
“It occurred within a 500-foot radius of several pupils and my entire cohort,” she explained.

The police said that the victim is not yet willing to communicate with them. Thus they have little information.
