Sheriffs release sketch of Thousand Oaks sexual assault suspect

The victim, 49, was driving near Cascade Avenue and Great Smokey Court on Feb. 15 when she was stopped by a man who asked for her business card at 8:50 a.m., according to the Ventura County Sheriff's Department.

But the suspect instead jumped into the vehicle and sexually assaulted her, investigators said. A nearby witness screamed during the assault, causing the suspect to flee in a tan or light-colored SUV similar to a Jeep Cherokee, according to officials.

The man was described as a 43- to 47-year-old Caucasian male or light-skinned Latino, about 6-feet to 6-foot-4, with a slender build and weighing about 160 pounds. He was balding with a receding hairline.
