A registered sex offender who was creeping on women using a Northeastern University residence hall women’s bathroom attacked officers who confronted him, authorities say.
“It isn’t difficult to imagine the shock and fear this employee must have experienced through this man’s actions, particularly in a setting where privacy is expected and deserved,” Suffolk DA Kevin Hayden said following the defendant’s arraignment. “I’m grateful no officers were injured when the defendant became violent.”
Brandon Awogboro, 29, of Boston, faces charges of trespassing, assault and battery on a police officer, disorderly conduct, and resisting arrest related to the Wednesday incident. He is currently on probation after serving a split sentence from a 2024 Dorchester case of breaking and entering and assault and battery.
Awogboro pleaded not guilty to the charges at Roxbury municipal court the next day. Judge David Poole set bail at $500 and ordered Awogboro to stay away from the victim and the university.
