SACRAMENTO - Another sexual assault incident has been reported on Sac State campus. This one happened over the weekend, police say. 

This latest incident makes three such incidents in the span of about a month.

On Saturday around 5:30 p.m., campus police received the report that someone was sexually assaulted on Moraga Way near Eureka Hall. Police didn't provide a description of the suspect or the circumstances leading up to the attack. 

University officials say the suspect in this case was arrested, cited and released. He was also barred from coming back onto campus.
