SFAppeal reports that today, the San Francisco Police Department released a sketch of a suspect in a sexual assault that took place back on July 30, 2013 around 6:30pm. The victim came forward to the police in the early October.
According to police, the victim was out for a walk near California Street and 30th Avenue when a vehicle pulled up and the suspect asked for directions to the Legion of Honor museum.
The suspect then asked the victim to get into his vehicle and direct him to the destination. When she agreed, the suspect then drove to the dead end at El Camino del Mar near the museum, locked the car doors and sexually assaulted her.
The suspect is described as a white man between 25 and 28 years old, and is about 5 feet 8 inches tall, weighs 170 pounds, has a light complexion and wide nose and wore a blue T-shirt and blue jeans.
Anyone with information about the case is asked to call the Police Department’s anonymous tip line at (415) 575-4444 or to send a tip by text message to TIP411 with “SFPD” in the message.

I’m somewhat surprised that the victim was able to give a complete description of her attacker, but there’s no description of the vehicle he was in. Also, why did SFPD take over a month before alerting the public?
