A KU student was arrested after he reportedly climbed through his neighbor’s window and got into bed with a 24-year-old Lawrence woman, said Lawrence police Friday.

Lawrence police Sgt. Michael Monroe said officers responded to the report of a burglary about 2 a.m. near 11th and Tennessee streets.

The woman told police she had been sleeping in her home and awoke to find an unexpected person in bed next to her. She recognized the man as a neighbor, asked him why he was there and ordered him to leave. A male roommate helped to escort the suspect out of the house.

Lawrence police arrested the man at about 2:40 a.m. on charges of aggravated burglary and sexual battery.

Kansas law defines sexual battery as the intentional touching of a non-consenting victim “with the intent to arouse or satisfy the sexual desires of the offender or another.”

The man was released on a $10,000 bond at 5:37 p.m. Friday.
