Omar Williams, who MPD said had no fixed address, was also charged with robbery, simple assault and theft in connection with two other off-campus incidents.
The Metropolitan Police Department arrested 27-year-old Omar Williams Tuesday in connection to the G Street Garage assault earlier this month.
A GW staff member suffered serious injuries after the incident in the G Street Garage on Oct. 4. MPD announced Wednesday that Williams has been charged with assault with intent to commit first-degree sexual abuse while armed and aggravated assault while armed.
Williams, who MPD said had no fixed address, was also charged with robbery, simple assault and theft in connection with two other off-campus incidents.
Some students criticized the University’s communication about the assault, saying they were frustrated that officials only confirmed the intent to commit sexual abuse 18 hours after MPD tweeted the full details of the suspect’s criminal charges.
Leslie Parsons, an assistant chief with MPD, said at a press conference Wednesday that video of the assault and tips from the public led to yesterday’s arrest.
“I’d like to thank all the members of the community that came forward that provided information in this case,” Parsons said. “These cases we can’t close alone, we count on the community to be a strong partner, and they were definitely a strong partner in this case.”
