All of the incidents happened between 9:30 am and 11:15 pm.

Several were not reported to police until days later, when the victims saw similar reports on social media.

Victims have described the suspect as a black male, approximately 25 years old, 5’9, with short black hair, sometimes seen wearing a black shirt, tan cargo pants, and carrying two white plastic bags and a red backpack.

Sexual Assault Unit detectives are investigating and seeking information about unreported cases or leads on the suspect’s identity.
