Mesa Police seeking public assistance to locate
sexual assault suspect
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.
