LOS ANGELES — Authorities have charged a 29-year-old presumed Nigerian national man with multiple felonies following a rapid series of assaults on women at UCLA in Westwood late last month.
Olumuyiwa Akindahunsi now stands accused of targeting five women — four of them students — in a roughly one-hour span on the evening of May 28 into early May 29. Prosecutors say the incidents began with a robbery on campus walkways and escalated quickly inside residential buildings.
According to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office, Akindahunsi faces one count of attempted kidnapping to commit forcible rape. He also faces three counts of assault with intent to commit forcible rape during a first-degree burglary and two counts of assault likely to produce great bodily injury.
Investigators report that the defendant, who has no affiliation with the university and lacked permission to be on campus, allegedly followed victims into secure areas. In one case, officials say he tried to abduct a woman in a hallway with the intent to sexually assault her. Other victims endured physical attacks before managing to break away or receive help from bystanders.
Campus police took Akindahunsi into custody shortly after the final reported incident. He is not a student and was described as experiencing homelessness.
If convicted on all charges, he could receive 32 years to life in state prison and lifetime sex offender registration. He remains held on $2.3 million bail.
The case highlights ongoing challenges in balancing open campus environments with security for students and visitors. University officials continue to review access protocols in the wake of these events. Prosecutors emphasize that each victim resisted successfully, preventing worse outcomes.
This remains an active prosecution. Court proceedings will determine the final resolution of the charges.

He has lived in the United States for years, with public records showing addresses in North Carolina (including Wilmington, Charlotte, and Gold Hill areas). He is described in news reports as a 29-year-old homeless man with no stated university affiliation. northcarolinaresidentdatabase.com
No official sources confirm his exact nationality or immigration status (U.S. citizen, permanent resident, or otherwise), and mainstream coverage does not specify it. Some social media comments refer to him as a "Nigerian national," but this remains unverified.
