University of Georgia police are searching for clues that could lead them to a suspect accused of sexually assaulting a female student on their campus.

The sexual assault occurred Sept. 30 outside Moore-Rooker Hall in the 600 block of Lumpkin Street, according to a police report.

The victim told police she was leaving the Magnolia bar in downtown Athens about 2 a.m. when the suspect followed her to an area between the UGA Special Collections Library and the Terry College of Business.

He pushed her down and forced her to have sexual intercourse with him, police said.

The woman went back to her apartment after the sexual assault and called police later that morning, according to the report.

Authorities said the victim had an abrasion on her right knee, had a very small cut on her right elbow and scratch marks in the middle of her lower to mid back. She declined medical treatment for her injuries.

No description of the suspect was released.
