Sonoma State University police are seeking the public's help in identifying a man suspected in a sexual assault last week.

He is described as having an olive complexion, an eye-freckle in his left eye, a mole next to his left nostril and acne on the left side of his mouth (towards his left cheek).

He also has several tattoos, one reptile-like one on his right forearm and another with at least the number 198 on his left tricep muscle, according to police.

He was seen wearing black cargo pants, a gray T-shirt with a picture of a sunset on the front and back and may have been carrying a black sweatshirt or hoodie.

The department has released a sketch of the suspect.
