Police are searching for a Hispanic male who allegedly sexually assaulted a woman Thursday morning.
Around 6:30 a.m., Plano Police officers responded to a sexual assault call in the 3500 block of Bahama Drive.
Upon arrival, a distraught Hispanic female told the officers that she had been sexually assaulted by a Hispanic male. The victim stated that the suspect had contacted her under the pretense of hiring her to work for his hme-cleaning business.
The victim told officers that the suspect had driven her to a house in the 3500 block of Bahama Drive where the assault occurred.
“There are a lot of things people can do to protect themselves, but won’t because they think it is going too far,” Officer David Tilley said. “Always check on who you are going to work for.”
Tilley said with everyone hit hard by the economy, some people jump at the opportunity for work without fully researching the business. This falls especially true for people working as contract labor.
“People just trying to find work, and are doing whatever it takes to get income,” he said. “It is unfortunate that there are people out there that will take advantage of people in these difficult times.”
The suspect is described as a Hispanic male, approximately 26 years old, 5-11 and 170-180 pounds wearing a baseball cap, gray sweatshirt, and black pants at the time of the assault. The suspect vehicle is described as a newer model, dark-blue Mazda (or similar type 4-door sedan vehicle) with gray interior and electric locks. A partial Texas license plate of 150L was given to police by the victim.
This is an ongoing investigation. Tilley said the police have good information on the suspect and is confident they can resolve the cases swiftly.
