MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- A bench warrant is out for a former UWM professor charged with sexually assaulting students. 

Court documents show that Anthony Azenabor failed to show up for a hearing Monday. He's scheduled for trial in August on two felony counts of sexual assault.

A UWM student told police that Azenabor, a biomedical science professor, assaulted her several times last year. 

A second student also came forward with a claim.
