The Metropolitan Police Department is urgently requesting the help of the public to locate a suspect accused of misdemeanor sexual abuse in the Northwest area.

Yesterday at roughly 10:30 a.m., the suspect allegedly initiated unwanted sexual contact with a victim on the 1300 block of L Street, Northwest. The Metropolitan Police Department has taken to their website to share the details of the incident and to appeal to anyone with information to step forward. These details explicitly instruct community members to not approach the suspect; instead, they should promptly call the police at (202) 727-9099 or send a tip via text to the Department's TEXT TIP LINE at 50411.

In the ongoing effort to encourage community engagement and to help ensure the safety of the District, the Metropolitan Police Department extends an offer of a reward. They promise up to $1,000 to any individual who could provide information that will help to quickly arrest and indict the responsible party.
