Eric Brown Faces Charges After UH Assault

Eric Brown, accused of sexually assaulting a University of Houston student at knifepoint on February 7, was arrested and mistakenly released due to communication errors regarding his charges. Brown now faces charges of aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon and two counts of sexual assault, each carrying a $5 million bond. Students at the university have protested, demanding stronger safety measures, while officials like State Rep. Jolanda Jones call for transparency and increased campus security. A manhunt for Brown is underway, involving the U.S. Marshals, Gulf Coast Violent Offenders Task Force, and local authorities. Harris County District Attorney Sean Teare has committed resources to rectify the oversight that led to Brown's release, and a reward is offered for information leading to his capture.
