Loudoun County, VA- The Loudoun County Sheriff's Office has released a composite sketch of one of two suspects involved in an August 17 attempted sexual assault on the Washington and Old Dominion Trail.

On August 23, the adult female victim reported that on August 17 she was walking on the trail just east of Sterling Boulevard around 8:30 p.m. when two black males exited a wooded area and attacked her. The men grabbed her and pulled at her clothing.

The suspects fled the scene after a cyclist rode by the area. The suspect in the composite sketch was described as a black male, 6'2" tall, with a thin build, black curly hair and was wearing a black shirt. The second suspect was also described as a black male and was said to be slightly shorter with a thin build. He also had black curly hair and was wearing a gray shirt. Both suspects were said to be in their 30's.

There is no indication at this time that this case is related to an attempted assault that occurred this week on the Washington and Old Dominion Trail in the Town of Leesburg.

Anyone with any information regarding the identity of the suspects or witnessed the assault are asked to contact Detective P. Beaver of the Loudoun County Sheriff's Office Criminal Investigations Division at 703-777-0475.
