FAIRFAX COUNTY, Va. (WRIC) — The Fairfax County Police Department is asking for help identifying and locating a sexual battery suspect who they say may be connected to a separate incident which took place in May.
According to police, at around 11:30 a.m. on Monday, July 3, officers responded to the 14500 block of Northeast Place in the Chantilly area for a report of a sexual battery.
The victim, an adult woman, were outside when the mother walked to a neighbor’s house and knocked on the door. The suspect then approached the victim and forcefully grabbed her in an intimate area before putting her in a chokehold. The mother ran towards them and the suspect ran away from the area.
The suspect is described as a Hispanic man in his 40’s with a medium-to-tall build and straight black hair. He was wearing a black har, grey shirt, dark pants and surgical face mask.
