Harvard Student Celebrates 21st B-day by Stealing Econ Homework, Sexually Assaulting a Girl

Harvard Student Celebrates 21st B-day by Stealing Econ Homework, Sexually Assaulting a Girl

Turning 21 is a milestone in a person’s life. While some celebrate it by exercising their newly acquired right to consume alcohol, others christen the occasion with less acceptable forms of celebration: breaking and entering, theft and assault.

 

Last Thursday, Mario G. Garcia ’09 hit—what should have been—a high point in his otherwise ho-hum life. However, five hours after the clock struck twelve, he was arrested for committing multiple crimes in rapid succession – a triathlon of stupidity, if you will.

 

The Crimson reports:

Garcia, who goes by Carlo, is a biology concentrator in Cabot House. He entered at least two rooms while their inhabitants were in bed and tried to talk to them about the homework for Social Analysis 10: “Principles of Economics.”


[…] “I had no idea who the person was. I then asked him to leave, but instead he sat on my bed and continued to ask questions about the problem set,” Wintha F. Kelati ’11, who is also on the Crimson business board, wrote in an e-mail.


“The whole thing seemed so bizarre I was honestly convinced I was dreaming. I woke up a few hours later and realized my problem set was gone,” she added.


[…]After leaving Kelati’s room, Garcia entered another room, laying down on a female student’s bed and touching her body in the process, according to HUPD spokesperson Steven G. Catalano. He was arrested after the student physically forced him out of her room.

To recap: Garcia went into a random girl’s room, asked her about some homework and stole it before leaving. Then, he knocked on several doors rambling almost incoherently about said problem set. Finally, he broke into a girl’s dorm and groped her before she manhandled out of the room.

 

The coup de grace? Police adamantly refuse to comment if he was under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

 

If I were a betting man (and I am), I’d say that he was either possessed by the devil or grossly inebriated.

The headline is false and misleading because he did not "sexually assault" a girl, that's a terrible accusation to make. Please correct it. Posted 11/18/2008 11:18 PMReply

"Ontario's Women's Directorate defines Sexual Assault as any unwanted act of a sexual nature (i.e. kissing, touching, oral or anal sex, intercourse or other forms of penetration) that is imposed on another person."

This man touched her, and it was unwanted... and he probably did it for sexual purposes.

Therefore, the headline is actually quite accurate to the article content. Just saying.
