MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Memphis Police arrested a man for sexually assaulting a woman in a Cossitt Library bathroom on Monday.
According to MPD, 35-year-old Kevin Standberry walked into the bathroom while the woman was inside and starting touching her without permission.
The woman broke free and ran out of the bathroom to go to another part of the library.
Police then say the woman went back into the bathroom to get her belongings when Standberry came back in and continued to inappropriately touch her before she broke free again.
Cossitt Library security saw Standberry come out of the bathroom, detained him and called MPD.
