Officials didn't say if the victim or suspects are students.

Stanford police over the weekend sent an alert about the assault, saying the woman said a 21-year-old man she knows restrained her by force and touched her breasts and buttocks at around 1 a.m. Thursday. She filed a report the next day.

The alert sent Saturday asked anyone with information about the assault to contact campus police.
