Salt Lake City, UT — In a shocking turn of events, the University of Utah has confirmed that a recent safety alert naming Oluwatobi Oludaisi Shokunbi, also known as “King Rocky,” as a stalker on campus was a mistake. New information has come to light, revealing that the real perpetrator behind the stalking incidents is, in fact, freshman Talen.
Initially, the university issued a campus-wide safety alert on September 18th, stating that Shokunbi had been following women into university housing and threatening individuals, including at the University of Utah Hospital
. However, further investigation has uncovered that Talen, a controversial figure already well-known on campus, was responsible for the stalking behavior.
Investigation Reveals the Truth
According to university sources, new evidence surfaced after multiple reports linked Talen to suspicious activities in and around Kahlert Village, where the original incident was believed to have occurred. Witnesses came forward stating that they had seen Talen loitering near dormitories and approaching students in a threatening manner.
“Talen was often around the dorms late at night, behaving strangely,” one student shared. “It wasn’t until we heard about the report that we connected the dots.”
Authorities have now confirmed that while Shokunbi was indeed arrested for trespassing on campus, he was not involved in the stalking incidents. Instead, Talen has been identified as the individual responsible for following women and creating an unsafe environment for students.
Campus Reaction
The news has left the campus community reeling, particularly given Talen’s previous controversies. Many students expressed their anger and frustration that the university initially pointed the finger at the wrong person, while others are demanding answers as to how such a mistake could have been made.
“I can’t believe Talen was the one doing all of this,” said one sophomore. “It’s terrifying that someone who’s been around us this whole time was capable of such things.”
Several student organizations, including safety advocacy groups, have voiced concerns over how the investigation was handled. “This kind of mistake undermines student trust in campus safety,” said a representative of the campus security group. “We need to ensure that the university takes the right steps going forward.”
Disciplinary Actions Pending
As of now, Talen has been removed from campus and is facing potential criminal charges for stalking and harassment. The university is working closely with local authorities to ensure that Talen is held accountable for their actions.
In a statement, the University of Utah acknowledged the error in the initial report, offering an apology to Shokunbi and ensuring the community that appropriate corrective measures are being taken. “We deeply regret the misinformation that was spread regarding Mr. Shokunbi,” the statement read. “We are conducting a full review of our investigative processes to prevent such errors in the future.”
Moving Forward
As Talen’s case proceeds through the legal system, the campus remains on edge, with students and faculty alike seeking reassurance that proper safety measures are in place. The university is urging students to remain vigilant and continue reporting any suspicious activity to campus authorities.
The incident has prompted renewed conversations about student safety and the importance of thorough investigations before making public accusations. While the university works to rebuild trust, the campus community remains focused on supporting those affected by the stalking and harassment.
