Female youth assaulted

The Fort St. John RCMP is asking for the public’s assistance after a 14 year-old girl was assaulted.

On the morning of July 12, 2010 between 2 a.m. and 3 a.m. the girl was walking home and was followed by a man.

While on 93 Ave, near 93 St., the man grabbed the girls arm, pulled her into bushes and threw her to the ground. The girl was able to escape with only minor injuries.

The man is described as a 30 year-old Caucasian male, approximately 5’8" and 145lbs. He has an athletic build, brown hair and a “five o’clock shadow”.

At the time, he was wearing a white shirt and blue jeans with a rip in the knee.

He had apparently been seen hanging out at the skatepark around midnight.

Anyone with information about the man’s identity or the incident is asked to contact Fort St. John RCMP at 250-787-8140 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or via the web at www.crimestoppersfsj.ca.
