Victim of kissing incident: It may have been cultural
On Friday afternoon, police responded to a call regarding potential misconduct, said UNMPD Public Information Officer Tim Stump. A female student was studying in Mesa Vista Hall, when an East-Indian man came up to her and asked for directions. After she gave them to him, he held out his hand and gave her a kiss on the cheek. After police searched for the man, they did a follow-up interview with the student. She told police she said the man had not acted suspiciously when talking to her or after the kiss. She said she believed the action had been cultural and that she had been encouraged by others to report the incident. This incident had initially been reported in Tuesday’s Daily Lobo.
