Authorities have issued an arrest warrant for 32-year-old Joseph Favata of Kansas in connection with an alleged sexual assault near the University of Nebraska-Lincoln campus in Lincoln on Sept. 29. He faces charges of attempted first-degree sexual assault and first-degree false imprisonment and is accused of approaching a student near 16th and R streets and sexually assaulting her. Investigators identified Favata by comparing his driver’s license photo with surveillance footage; police say they believe he may be in the Wichita area and are working with Kansas law enforcement to find him. Anyone with information about the case or his whereabouts is asked to contact UNLPD.
