Officers from the Madison Police Department arrested 25-year-old Robert Wilks after he reportedly groped numerous women on the 100 block of State Street early Sunday morning.

According to an MPD incident report:

Wilks groped several women in the chest area — some attending a bachelorette party — while he was standing on State Street before police apprehended him.

While some victims reported emotional distress to officers, others seemed less distressed.

“These things happen to women, we just get used to it,” one woman said.

In his report, the responding officer said he found this sentiment “very sad.”
