A California State University Northridge student who was groped by a man is opening up about the harrowing experience in hopes of raising awareness. This video was broadcast on the NBC4 News at 4 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 24, 2025.
A student attending California State University Northridge was followed home Sunday and groped by an unknown man who covered his face.
The 22-year-old woman says she was followed home from a bus stop at around 7:20 p.m. in Northridge on the 18400 block of Vincennes Street.
She says that she wants to expose who this is for public safety reasons.
“Maybe me yelling made him run faster but yeah it was very horrible,” said the woman who asked to remain anonymous. “It was very very scary because I know for a fact he planned this out because he covered his entire face with fabric and he was wearing all black.”
