A reader reports:
“I witnessed what I believe to be a sexual assault at 15th & T Sts NW today at approx 8:30am. I was traveling northbound on 15th St stopped at the light for T St NW. A woman was crossing 15th, heading east on the north crosswalk. As she finished crossing and stepped up onto the curb, a man standing on that corner, reached out and down with his right arm and touched/grabbed her front private area. She was visibly surprised, pulled out her headphones and started screaming expletives (I assume, I think I saw a F*** you mouthed) at him. He, without batting an eye or acknowledging her screaming, casually crossed 15th St and then turned southbound on the west side of 15th.
I tried to grab a photo but was so surprised I flubbed the phone. I looped around once to try and catch a photo of his face but only managed to grab a photo of his back as he was walked south on 15th St. I then tracked down the victim a few blocks away to make sure she was okay. I offered to try and get a better photo of him, give her contact info or anything to help. She said she was shaken but okay. I just cannot stop thinking about what I saw this morning and want to warn neighbors to be vigilant. The man was approx 40-50 years old, about 5’2”, black male, stocky/round build with a shuffle-type walk. He was wearing black pants, dark thick jacket (maybe with a slight pattern) black beanie, found toe black shoes. He had a round, unexpressive face.”
If the victim would like to be put in touch with OP to file a police report (if one hasn’t been filed already) please email me at [email protected]

For many remote workers, a messy home is distracting.
You’re getting pulled into meetings, and your unread emails keep ticking up. But you can’t focus because pet hair tumbleweeds keep floating across the floor, your desk has a fine layer of dust and you keep your video off in meetings so no one sees the chaos behind you.
It’s no secret a dirty home is distracting and even adds stress to your life. And who has the energy to clean after work? That’s why it’s smart to enlist the help of professionals, like Well-Paid Maids.
