Police and female students at the University of Southern California are seeking public help in locating a suspect they describe as a serial groper.
The suspect is described as a man aged 16-21, with dark, spiked hair and a slim build.
The suspect is believed responsible for a chain of incidents since January 16, in which women walking near the university were grabbed, slapped or fondled on the buttocks.
A group calling itself USC Girl Mafia began tracking reports of the incidents and posting them on an interactive map.
Since then it has reported 14 similar incidents around USC, from February 21 at 10:10 p.m., to the most recent, March 27 at 12:34 a.m.
