Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department investigators are searching for a male suspect who sexually assaulted a victim in West Hollywood during the early morning hours of March 13.

“The investigation continues,” said Capt. Bill Moulder, of the West Hollywood Sheriff’s Station. “There are no additional updates.”

Authorities said the crime occurred between 1:30-1:45 a.m. in the 7600 block of Santa Monica Boulevard. The suspect approached a female victim at a bus bench and forced her into a nearby parking garage, where the sexual assault occurred. The suspect was last seen walking south on Fuller Avenue.

The suspect was described as Black, approximately 6 feet 1 inches tall and 210 pounds, with a muscular build. The victim reported the suspect had a mustache, authorities said. The suspect was wearing a ski mask, baseball cap, cream or yellow colored sweater with “XTC” printed on it over a green hooded sweatshirt, black pants and white shoes. Investigators believe someone may recognize the suspect by his distinctive sweater.
