Police Searching For Man They Say Sexually Assaulted Md. Girl

FORESTVILLE , Md. (AP) -- Police say a 12-year-old girl was sexually assaulted in the hallway of her Forestville apartment building.

Police say a man followed the girl onto the elevator inside her building Wednesday. When the girl got off the elevator, the man forced her to the ground in the hallway, sexually assaulted her and then ran away.

The suspect is believed to be 17 to 22 years old. Police are trying to identify and locate a man caught on surveillance video walking outside the building who seems to fit the description of the suspect.

Police are trying to get leads on who might have attacked the girl.

A reward of up to $25,000 is offered for information that might help in the case.
