A 29-year-old man has been charged with aggravated sexual assault against a TCU student, Police Sgt. Paul Ware said.

Fort Worth Police arrested Marlon A. Scott Friday, Ware said.

Scott was being held in the Mansfield Jail on $250,000 bail. Ware said he will be moved to the Tarrant County Jail once the case is accepted by the district attorney’s office.

The registrar’s office said Scott is not enrolled at TCU.

Lt. Jesse Hernandez said Scott was previously arrested Aug. 16 for an unrelated sexual assault case. Hernandez said it was a kidnapping case that occurred July 12 but that Scott was officially charged with sexual assault.

The sexual assault took place Thursday, according to an e-mail sent out last week by TCU Det. Kelly Ham. Ware said the assault was reported at the 3000 block of S. University Drive.

The campus-wide e-mail stated that the victim’s girlfriend brought her boyfriend with her and introduced him to the victim.

According to the e-mail, after the girlfriend and the boyfriend left the residence, the boyfriend went back to the victim’s apartment telling her he had left his cell phone in her apartment. Once inside, the man sexually assaulted the victim, according to the e-mail.

Hernandez said the man brought out a knife and police believe the knife was from inside the victim’s apartment.

TCU Police sent an e-mail update Friday to all students, faculty and staff notifying them that a suspect had been arrested by the Fort Worth Police and was in custody.
