Police say a Seattle man was sexually assaulted after trying to sell a Kindle online.

The victim thought he had a buyer for his Kindle, so he invited the man over to check it out. When the man in his 20’s showed up at the home in South Seattle on Sunday he had a gun.

The suspect told the 27-year-old victim to go to the bedroom where he sexually assaulted him.

According to police, when the suspect went into the bathroom to clean up the victim climbed out a window and went to a neighbor’s house for help.

Cops haven’t been able to track down the suspect yet but they say he made off with a bunch of electronics including that Kindle, an iPad and an iPhone.
