AUSTIN, Texas — After a student came forward and said they mistakenly entered another person's dorm room at the University of Texas at Austin, UT police said no charges will be filed.

UT police said over the weekend they were investigating after a man walked into a residence hall and stood by a student's bed, then touched their abdomen, just before 2 a.m. on Sunday.

On Monday, the police said a student voluntarily came forward and identified themselves as the person in the alert. UT police said it was a mistake and the student will face no charges.

According to police, the incident happened at Jester West Residence Hall.

Police initially said a man wearing just a shirt and underwear walked into the student's room, then took his shirt off and touched the student.

The student asked who he was. That's when the man ran away.
