Unfortunately it’s not all good news today.

As I mentioned earlier I was out of town last week. I had hundreds of emails to sort through when I returned. Without question of all the nausea inducing crime reports I read – this is by far the worst.

From MPD:

Detectives from the Metropolitan Police Department are seeking the public’s assistance in reference to a kidnapping and sexual assault which occurred in the 700 block of F Street, Northwest.

On Thursday, December 29, 2011 at approximately 8:30 pm, officers assigned to the Fourth District responded to the 400 block of Farragut Street, Northwest for a sexual assault. Upon their arrival on the scene, the officers were approached by the victim who reported that she was driving in the 700 block of F Street, Northwest at approximately 7:30 pm with her 15 month old son in the back seat. While stopped in the area, a male subject entered the passenger side of the victim’s vehicle and forced her at gunpoint to drive out of the area. The victim was ordered by the assailant to park her vehicle in an unidentified area in Washington, DC. The victim was then sexually assaulted by the subject.

The suspect is described as a black male who spoke with a Southern accent. He is further described as having a medium complexion, a mustache and was wearing all dark clothing.

Anyone with information about this case is asked to call the police at (202) 727-9099 or 1-888-919-CRIME (1-888-919-2746). Additionally, anonymous information may be submitted to the department’s TEXT TIP LINE by text messaging 50411.
