LAKE ELSINORE (CBS) — The Riverside County Sheriff's Department has released a sketch of a man they say sexually assaulted a 15-year-old girl in a field Tuesday.
The girl told investigators she was walking home through the field at approximately 7 p.m. when the suspect approached, trying to strike up a conversation.
