Mesa Police Seek Assistance To Locate Sexual Assault Suspect
October 4, 2008
The
Mesa Police Department is requesting public assistance in
locating a male who sexually assaulted a 12-year-old girl.
On Wednesday, July 9, 2008 at approximately 5:00 p.m., the
victim was at her residence in the 100 block of North Extension
when she heard a knock at the front door. The victim opened the
door and saw a male standing at the door. The male then forced
his way into the residence, pushed the victim down to the couch
and sexually assaulted her. A short time later, the male left
the residence.
The victim did not report the incident to anyone until
yesterday, July 23, in fear the male suspect would return. When
the victim told her family members about the incident, the
police department was immediately notified and an active
investigation is currently ongoing.
The following description of the male suspect has been
provided to police: A Hispanic male appearing to be in his 30's,
5'6" to 5'8" tall, thin build, thin moustache, brown eyes, short
"messy style" black hair. He was wearing a tan colored T-shirt,
black jeans and work-style boots. Additionally, the male was
wearing a small gold hoop earring in the ear and has two small
moles below the right side of his eye.
Anyone with information is urged to call Mesa Police at
