According to the Richmond Register, a woman told EKU Police that she and 18-year-old Keysean Alford, of Homestead, Florida, were at her dorm drinking alcohol and hanging out on Friday.

The newspaper says the victim told police Alford grabbed her forcefully near the residence hall elevators and tried to pull her into a lounge area, telling her, “I know you want it” when she told him to stop.
