Man Matching Sexual Assault Suspect Description Returns To Same Home

SAN DIEGO, CA — A man matching the description of a suspect from a sexual assault returned to the same home in San Diego, authorities said.

The assault happened around 1:45 a.m Thursday at a home in the 2800 block of Wellington Street in the Linda Vista neighborhood, according to the San Diego Police Department. The man entered the home through an open door, attacked a girl who was sleeping and then fled the home.

Days later, around 3:25 a.m. Sunday, an unknown man matching the suspect description was seen on video surveillance footage returning to the same home and entering the property, Lt. Michael Swanson said.

“He did not gain entry into the home, and no one was harmed,” Swanson said.

Police circulated photos of the man Sunday.

The suspect was described as a Hispanic man in his early 20s with dark hair. He was wearing a dark-hooded sweatshirt with light printing down the left sleeve and an unknown image on the front. He was also wearing light-colored sweatpants and dark shoes, and had a backpack and bicycle.

Anyone with information about the case or video surveillance from the area was asked to call the child abuse unit at 619-531-2210 or the department’s non-emergency line at 619-531-2000.
