Another alleged “Georgetown Cuddler” incident on 35th Street
Posted by: Juliana Brint in News, Vox Populi, tags: Burglary, Crime, Georgetown Cuddler, Georgetown Neighborhood, MPD, Sexual AssaultThis morning a message was sent out to the Burleith and Georgetownforum listserves with details of a burglary/sexual assault that allegedly occurred on the morning of Friday, July 25th on 35th street. According to the email*, a male suspect got into bed with a girl who was sleeping and laid on top of her. The email’s author writes that she believes the perpetrator is the man known as the “Georgetown Cuddler.”
At around 4:15 a.m. a “normal looking guy” holding a six pack of beer knocked on the back door of the house, the email says. A male friend who was staying downstairs let him in when he said he was there to see one of the roommates. He left ten minutes later, and one of the roommates came downstairs and told the guys staying there that someone had been trying to pick the lock to her bedroom. When they realized the visitor may have been an intruder, they locked all the downstairs doors.
The email says that between 5 and 5:30 a.m. that morning another roommate awoke to find a man getting into her bed. She thought it was a male friend of hers who told her he might sleep over. When she said her friends name the suspect replied, “Yeah, hey,” so she went back to sleep. The victim was awakened around 6 a.m. when the man was on top of her.
She jumped out of bed and ran into the hallway, followed by the suspect. According to the email, the he was of medium build, about 5′10″ or 5′11″ with short-cut brown hair and wearing a collared shirt. By the time the victim ran downstairs to alert her friends, the suspect had left the house.
The email also says this is the second time in a year that the “Cuddler” has visited this house.
The Metropolitan Police Department’s Daily Crime Log shows there was burglary on July 25th on the 1800 block of 35th street between 5 and 6 a.m. Officials from MPD and the Department of Public Safety have not yet returned requests for comment, but we’ll let you know when we have more information.

The Cuddler is less funny and more frightening with each day.
So, go make some insensitive Cuddler joke, Hoya.
do you think its a good idea to post the name of a girl that has knowledge of a sexual assault while the suspect hasn’t been caught?
@Chris: Good point, meant to take that out but I must have forgotten. It’s now fixed.
