A 34-year-old remained in jail Monday on suspicion of groping a woman at a University of Nebraska-Lincoln library, then forcing himself on another woman downtown Oct. 26.
Laurance D. Dollison has pleaded not guilty to charges of third-degree sexual assault, disturbing the peace and trespassing charges in the incidents.
A UNL student told police she was sitting in the northeast corner of Love Library about 7:30 that morning when an unknown, shirtless man approached her from behind, according to a UNL police report.
She said he placed his hand on her shoulder and grabbed her groin area with his other hand. Then, she said, he told her he was sorry and that he "forgot they were in a library," the report said.
About an hour later, another woman told Lincoln police a shirtless man approached her at 11th and L streets as she was waiting to cross the street, put his hands on her face and leaned in to kiss her on the lips, Officer Katie Flood said.

She immediately backed up, said no and watched him walk south on 11th Street, Flood said.Â
Lincoln police identified the man as Dollison and contacted him at his home nearby and ticketed him on suspicion of disturbing the peace, Flood said.
The student from the library incident later identified him as the suspect in her case as well, reports said.
