Composite sketch of the suspect.
Boulder Police are requesting help from the public in identifying a man involved in a sexual assault, according to a news release.
The assault occurred on Sept. 6 between 2 a.m. and 2:30 a.m. near 17th Street and Broadway Street, on the grounds of University Hill Elementary School, according to the release.
The 19-year-old female who was sexually assaulted reported her attacker as a college-aged male with a pronounced pointed nose, spiked dark hair, dark eyes and no facial hair, who was possibly of Middle Eastern descent. She was walking home after leaving a friend’s house when she was attacked near the elementary school.
Boulder Detective Kurt Foster said that the composite sketch and report have just been released because the female, a CU student, was hesitant about reporting the attack.
“She delayed in reporting it,” Foster said. “She said that she was uncertain of what to do and didn’t want to relive it.”
Foster said that with releasing the information and sketch, a number of leads have already been called in that are currently under investigation.
Police are asking that anyone with information regarding this attack contact Detective Kurt Foster at 303-441-4329. For those who wish to remain anonymous, police ask that they contact the Northern Colorado Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or 1-800-444-3776. Tips may also be submitted to the crime stoppers website.
