The suspect, posing as a maintenance worker, was let into the apartment by the victim around 4 p.m. last Monday. He followed the woman into a bedroom and attacked her.

Police are looking for an African-American male, slight of build (about 5’5 to 5’7, 130 to 140 lbs.) and clean shaven. He was last seen wearing a white tank top and baggy blue jeans.

Anyone with information about the suspect is asked to contact the Gwinnett County Police Special Victims Unit (770-513-5321) or Crime Stoppers (404-577-TIPS). A reward of up to $2,000 is being offered.
