Police are asking for the public’s help to find a man who raped a Shoreline woman while her two children slept beside her.
“The 7-year-old kid apparently woke up sometime during the assault and turned the light on and that’s when the suspect fled,” says Cindi West with the King County Sheriff’s Department.
The rape occurred on Sunday around 4 a.m. West says the family had only been in the home for two weeks.
“This was so traumatic for them that they packed up and moved back out of state from where they came from. It’s devastating, devastated their family,” says West.
Police describe the suspect as an olive-skinned male, possibly Hispanic. He is about 5’6″, 160 lbs, and has a shaved head.
The man reportedly may have some fresh wounds.
“It’s possible that he has some type of fresh wound maybe somewhere on his hands, arms or face. There was some fresh blood on the doorway where the suspect fled.”
The victim, who speaks Vietnamese, says her attacker spoke to her in Vietnamese during the attack.
