RALEIGH, N.C. — A man linked to two sexual assaults in two weeks on the campus of North Carolina State University is now banned from that property while he awaits trial.

Hasan Abdullah Faheemud-Dean, 21, was arrested Monday night near the campus and charged with first-degree kidnapping, felony breaking and entering and second-degree forced sex offense. He was being held of $550,000 bond.

Hasan Abdullah Faheemud-Dean, 21, was arrested Monday night near the campus and charged with first-degree kidnapping, felony breaking and entering and second-degree forced sex offense in connection with an assault reported at Wolf Village Dec. 7.

Should he be able to pay, a judge ordered that his movements be subject to electronic monitoring and that he have no contact with the alleged victims.

Faheemud-Dean asked to represent himself in the coming criminal case, a move the judge told him would be risky.

"These are very serious charges," the judge said. "Out of an abundance of caution, I will appoint counsel for you."

In addition to charges stemming from the Dec. assault, Faheemud-Dean is a person of interest in a sexual battery incident that occurred on Monday night, Dec. 12, in the parking lot of the Wolf Village Apartments.

N.C. State Police Chief Daniel House said surveillance cameras were able to capture video of the suspect in both incidents, leading investigators to believe it was the same person.

N.C. State sent a Wolf Alert to students before 1 a.m. Tuesday notifying them of the reported sexual battery on campus.

It was the third sexual assault to be reported on N.C. State's campus in just two weeks, and the fifth so far this semester.

In a press conference on Tuesday, House urged faculty, staff and visitors to not let anybody inside buildings that doesn't have an N.C. State identification card.

"It's a public campus," he said. "So it's just really hard to pick and who is out of place and who isn't. But we really try to work hard if something just doesn't look right."

N.C. State Police offer trainings, including rape aggression defense, as well as safety escorts for the campus community. Contact the Crime Prevention Unit at 919-515-3000 or visit police.ehps.ncsu.edu for more information.
