Police said Truong, a Snyder Hall resident, entered 14 unlocked female dorm rooms between 3 and 4:30 a.m. Truong indecently assaulted six women, including one aggravated indecent assault, police said.
Tom Harmon, director of Penn State Police Services, defined indecent assault as the "touching of intimate parts." Harmon described the one count of aggravated indecent assault as an "indecent penetration." Truong penetrated one of the victims with his fingers, according to a police report.
Police said Truong also harassed six other women. Harassment can include physical contact, Harmon said.
Truong, who was identified by 11 of the victims in a photo line-up, told police he entered two Snyder Hall rooms and attempted to kiss two women, according to the report. Truong also gave conflicting statements during two interviews, stating during the first interview, "I don't want anybody to know I did something so wrong."
In Snyder Hall, a co-ed dormitory, female students live on the even numbered floors, and male students reside on the odd numbered floors. Truong, a third floor resident, entered rooms on the second, fourth and sixth floors, police said.
According to the report, six victims awoke to find Truong attempting to undress and fondle them. Several victims reported Truong smelled of alcohol and repeatedly told the women he was "looking for Mike."
One victim said two other males entered her room with Truong, according to the report. The victim told police Truong and the men engaged in small talk, and after repeated requests, left the room.
Duty supervisor Wayne Weaver said the other two men have been identified and no charges are pending against them.
Two male Snyder Hall residents told police they found Truong drunk and sleeping on the floor of one of the men's dorm rooms at 3:45 a.m., according to the report.
Truong told the men he "got" with a female resident and offered to introduce them to her. The men followed Truong onto the fourth and sixth floors where they saw him pushing on the doors, the report states.
The men told police Truong is an exchange student from Vietnam. Following Truong's arraignment last night, District Justice Bradley Lunsford said he could not verify whether Truong is an American citizen. Lunsford said Truong's citizenship would affect his sentencing and was unsure whether deportment would be a possibility.
After his arraignment last night, Truong did not talk to reporters. Although his belongings have yet to be removed from his room, Truong moved out of Snyder Hall Monday, said Alison Cummings, assistant director of Residence Life. He left without resistance and moved off campus, she said.
Forbidden from entering any residence hall without a staff member, Truong must contact Residence Life to arrange an escort before he can return to retrieve his belongings, Cummings said.
Penn State spokesperson Bill Mahon said all dorm residents are told to lock their doors when they move in. Penn State's dorms are well secured and do not have a history of non-residents entering dorms and assaulting students, he said.
Mahon said that despite the relative safety of Penn State, students still need to be careful. "Students just need to get in the habit of locking their doors," he said.
