Los Angeles police on Monday released a composite sketch of a man suspected in the kidnap and rape of a 14-year-old Monroe High School student last week, while investigating possible links to similar attacks or attempted assaults in the northeast San Fernando Valley.
The victim in Friday’s assault was walking to school between 6:30 and 7 a.m. in the 9000 block of Willis Avenue when the suspect pulled up in a mid-1990s white Honda Accord and offered to give her a lift, police said.
Investigators described the man as Asian, in his early 20s, 5 feet 3, 120 pounds with brown eyes, black hair and pock-marked skin. He was wearing a white hooded sweater, black or gray shorts and white shoes.
