ITHACA, N.Y. — The Ithaca Police Department is investigating two reported incidents of “lewd acts” around the East Hill area that happened Thursday night.
According to an announcement from Capt. Ted Schwartz, police were called to Delaware Avenue and University Avenue around 9 and 10 p.m. on Sept. 5. Both incidents involved “similar disturbing acts displayed to them without their consent” by a man. Schwartz detailed that the man was “engaging in sexually explicit behavior” outside of the victims’ windows.
Schwartz said the description of the man, a white male between 20-30 years old and clean shaven, was similar in both incidents.
The two victims, both college-aged women, were home at the time of the events.
No other details were released, and the investigation is ongoing in collaboration with Cornell University Police.
