The MSU Department of Police and Public safety released more photos this morning of the suspect in a sexual assault that was reported near the union last Thursday. 

They posted the photos to their social media, urging anyone who can help identify the suspect to contact Detective Sergeant Aaron Schroeder or to submit a tip through their anonymous tip line.
