Police ask anyone with information to contact them
 Ventura County Sheriff's Department At about 9:00 a.m. on Monday, May 20, 2013, a female was walking alone along Santa Paula Street, near Peck Road. A single male suspect confronted her, displayed a knife, and forced her into the nearby orchard. The suspect then sexually assaulted the female victim. The suspect was last seen running westbound on Santa Paula Road, toward Briggs Road. The victim sustained minor injuries, but did not require medical aid. The suspect was described as a white male, between 20 and 30 years old. He was about 5’7” tall with a medium build. He was wearing dark clothing, including a hooded sweatshirt. In February, there was a similar incident in the same area. That suspect had been described as a Hispanic male, about 35 to 45 years old, with a large belly. At this point, Sheriff’s detectives have not ruled out the possibility the two incidents could be related. Residents in the area are cautioned to be aware of any suspicious subjects in the area. Anyone having information about the assault or the possible suspect is urged to contact Detective Matt Delahuerta at 805-384-4740. In emergency situations, always call 911. Ventura County Crime Stoppers will pay up to $1,000 reward for information, which leads to the arrest and criminal complaint against the person(s) responsible for this crime. The caller may remain anonymous. The call is not recorded. Call Crime Stoppers at 800-222-TIPS (8477). Nature of Incident: Sexual Assault |
