Georgia Tech police make arrest in assaults

By The Associated Press
ATLANTA (AP) Georgia Tech police have arrested a west Georgia man accused in the sexual battery of two women on the Atlanta campus. <br /> <br /> Georgia Institute of Technology spokesman Matt Nagel said 43-year-old John Perry Smith of Bremen, Georgia, was being held in the Fulton County Jail. <br /> <br /> The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that Smith was being held on two misdemeanor charges of sexual battery. Jail records do not indicate whether he has an attorney. <br /> <br /> One of the women told authorities she was walking behind Brittain Dining Hall around 5:45 p.m. Monday, when a man approached her from behind, reached under her skirt and touched her. <br /> <br /> After school police issued a campus safety alert about that assault, another woman came forward and reported that she was also grabbed a few blocks away and around the same time. <br />
