SACRAMENTO - Sac State students are on edge after receiving an email about police searching for a sexual assault suspect.

When asked if she had ever seen the suspect before, a student said, "It's really gross and disturbing that someone would do that. You know? It's just like a lack of morals and humanity."

Sac State police are searching for a man who is accused of sexually assaulting two people.

Police identified the suspect as a 22-year-old man who goes by the name of "Zayn." The first assault happened off-campus on Sept. 23. The second incident happened several weeks ago on campus.

Police say that, in both cases, the suspect met the victims on campus and identified himself as a Sac State student.

Police say he is not currently enrolled at the university but may use the facilities.

"It's really heartbreaking, honestly. It's really disheartening that they have to go through that, and I really hope that he gets caught soon," said a student.

They also believe he could be affiliated with San Jose State.

Earlier this year, a man was accused of riding his bike up behind women on campus and slapping their buttocks.
