Santa Rosa Junior College Police said Thursday they have are following leads but have no single suspect in the sexual assault of a staff member on Tuesday.
Police have received numerous tips from people eager to help solve the case, "so we are following up on each and every one of them," Sgt. Don Silverek said.
But "right now, there is not one specific person of interest, because we're still in the position of sorting everything out in terms of which ones are the most credible," he said.
Students at the 36,000-student college, meanwhile, returned to classes Thursday after two days off and were greeted by postings describing the attack and urging students to be careful.
Julia Rosenthal, 19, a Santa Rosa resident in her third semester at the college, said her mother works on campus and is cause for concern.
"It made me worried about my mother because she's here by herself in the evenings, while I'm usually with friends."
Police said a theater arts worker was in her Burbank Auditorium office around 10:45 a.m. Tuesday when someone knocked on the door and she answered.
A man forced her back inside and assaulted her during a struggle that ended when she screamed and her assailant fled, police said.
Authorities released a composite sketch on Wednesday and said the attacker was a short, stocky Latino man in his 20s or 30s, wearing a sleeveless white T-shirt, dark pants and black gloves.
Junior college police are working with Santa Rosa Police, who helped collect evidence in the case, and with the Sonoma County Sheriff's Office to help apprehend the culprit, Silverek said.
"It's a community issue, a community problem," Silverek said, "and he's going to be out there as a predator all over our community. And I think that underscores the wonderful cooperation between the district and the other agencies."
