Police seek UGA students who may have been drugged, assaulted

Athens-Clarke County police said they are looking for University of Georgia students who may have been preyed upon by an Athens man.

Andre Montez Jones, 27, of Athens, has been arrested after he allegedly sexually assaulted at least three University of Georgia students, according to the Athens Banner-Herald.

Each time, Jones would invite the student to his apartment near downtown, drug them, then sexually assault them, police Lt. Jeff Clark said.

Students began coming forward and “all statements appear to be consistent with one another,” he said.

Police are asking any additional victims to come forward.
