Police have released a sketch depicting the suspect who beat up a local woman then sexually assaulted her as she walked alone at night.
The attack occurred near Freeman Park on April 17. The victim required significant medical attention. The suspect was a stranger and has so far not been identified.
"The victim had been drinking with a group of younger people whom she had just met in the bleachers of the baseball diamond and upon leaving the group she was attacked by a Caucasian male believed to be in his 40s, with short dirty-blond hair, average build and was approximately five-foot-four to five-foot-six in height," said Prince George RCMP spokeswoman Const. Lesley Smith.
"The female victim was able to give police a detailed description of the male who attacked her," Smith added. A composite drawing was made by a police artist working with the victim.
Anyone who has any ideas about whom the suspect is is asked to call Prince George RCMP at 250-561-3300 or pass any suggestions along to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS / www.pgcrimestoppers.bc.ca.
