PROVO, Utah (AP) -- A BYU student has been arrested in the investigation of the sexual assault of a woman in Springville.

Police say a 21-year-old man apparently invited the 20-year-old woman to his home, then pulled her into his bedroom where he assaulted her.

Officers say the two knew each other through mutual friends. Police reports say the man is a junior at Brigham Young University on a student visa from Nigeria.

The man was booked into the Utah County Jail on suspicion of forcible sex abuse. He's scheduled to appear in court on December 6th.
