Sketch released of suspect in sexual assault

May 10, 2012

Authorities released a sketch Wednesday of a suspect in a sexual assault in Atlanta and announced a reward of up to $2,000 for information leading to his arrest and indictment.

Atlanta police said a woman told them that she was at the Opera Nightclub on Crescent Avenue in Midtown on April 29 when she was approached "possibly by a Middle Eastern or Russian decent male with an accent" who offered her a ride to her hotel.

She left with the man, and he drove around for a while before stopping on Trabert Avenue in an industrial area of northwest Atlanta and sexually assaulting her, the woman told authorities.

The GBI has released a composite sketch of the suspect.

Anyone with information should call Crime Stoppers Atlanta at 404-577-8477.
