SAN PEDRO (CBSLA) – Authorities have released a sketch of a man wanted for attacking and sexually assaulting a woman in her 60s inside her San Pedro home Tuesday evening.
The attack occurred at around 6:30 p.m. Tuesday at a home in the area of 11th and Centre streets.
According to Los Angeles police, the suspect was waiting for the victim outside her home. As she was walking through her front door, he pushed her inside and then sexually assaulted her, leaving her with severe injuries.
"It was brutal, it was brutal," said LAPD Detective Kim Porter. "This guy's a predator."
