BATON ROUGE, La. — Police have charged a man with sexually battering people who were working out at a Louisiana State University campus recreation center. 

Documents obtained by news outlets say officers were called to the gym on Monday where a person reported a man pressed his genitals against a victim as they were working out. 

A second person told police they witnessed him do the same to someone using a weight machine.
