UC Irvine police received a report that someone was raped around 11 p.m. on May 16 at Camino del Sol student housing, said UCI Police Chief Liz Griffin in a crime alert.
The person said they were walking when a man pushed them to the ground and raped them, Griffin wrote.
The assailant was described as a white man between 35 and 40 years old with dark hair, a medium build and wearing a dark T-shirt and a navy blue hat, according to Griffin. He was driving a dark colored Acura.
The victim reported the attack the next day, according to police. Officers searched the area but didn’t find the man or his vehicle.
