I meant to post this yesterday, but I was at the doctor, so the couple of entries were “scheduled” in advance.

Anyway, the composite of a man on the right is a wanted fellow who assaulted adult females and forced them to perform sexual acts on him. He is still at large and is believed to be in the West New York, NJ area.

While this is outside Jersey City, we will never know if the guy roams around trying to victimize other ladies in other areas like JC. I believe that one of the best ways for safety is to be informed, that’s why I’m sharing this to you.

Detailed description below:

Sex: Male (18 – 20 yrs old)
Height: 5’10 – 6 ft
Hair and Eyes: Dark
Race: White/Hispanic
Weight: approx. 160 lbs
Build: Slender
Complexion: Fair

Below is the news article that appeared on nj.com yesterday (March 25, 2008)

Authorities have released two sketches of a man they suspect of attacking three women in West New York and are asking other women he may have approached to contact them.

“Even if they weren’t hurt, even if they weren’t robbed, if they got away, they should come forward because their information could be valuable,” said Hudson County Prosecutor Edward DeFazio.

Each sketch is the result of a description by a different witness. The third witness described her attacker similarly, DeFazio said.

Police believe the perpetrator is a light-skinned man in his late teens or early 20s with dark hair and dark eyes, weighing approximately 160 pounds and between 5-foot-9 and 6 feet in height. He speaks English and Spanish, authorities believe. In all of the attacks, witnesses said the man had a silver and black handgun.

The first reported attack was March 5 at about 7 a.m. when the man forced a 26-year-old woman to perform a sex act after cornering her alone at a business near the intersection of 52nd Street and Palisade Avenue, DeFazio said.

Then, at 3 a.m. on March 15, a man tried to attack a 53-year-old woman at 52nd Street and Hudson Avenue, but the woman escaped. An hour later, a 29-year-old was attacked and forced to perform a sex act at 53rd Street and Hudson Avenue.

Anyone with information should contact the Hudson County Special Victims Unit at (201) 915-1234 or the West New York Police Department at (201) 295-5000.
