As Gainesville Police continues investigating a serial urinator, three more victims have come forward. The department released a composite sketch of the suspect Monday.
A UF Alert sent to students, staff and faculty March 5 reported police are investigating four counts of battery and exposure of sexual organs from Feb. 22 through March 1.
A man is suspected of approaching females from behind and peeing on them between the 100 and 200 blocks of Northwest 17th Street and the 900 block of West University Avenue.
Victims described him as a 6-foot black male between 25 and 30 years old with a medium to large build, according to the alert.
He has short curly hair, a dark complexion and was last seen wearing a dark hoodie and baggy jeans.
GPD spokesman Officer Ben Tobias said no one has reported any more recent cases.
Tobias said students should keep an eye on their surroundings to prevent possible future incidents.
“It’s the same for avoiding anybody,” Tobias said.
Jamie Thomas, a UF English senior, said her friends thought the idea of a serial urinator was funny.
But she was more concerned.
“It does scare me hearing about all of the crimes that happen around campus,” the 22-year-old said.
GPD encourages anyone with information to contact Detective Scott Bertzyk at 352-393-7657.
People can also send an anonymous tip by texting keyword “GPDFL” with the tip to 274637.
