Sheriff's Office investigates sexual assault


Published/Last Modified on Thursday, Nov 19, 2009 - 12:47:37 pm PST

Coastside law enforcement says a young local woman was the victim of a sexual assault earlier this month.

Detectives from the sexual crimes unit of the Sheriff’s Office are tight-lipped about details of the sexual assault, a generic term that can include rape along with lesser crimes.

“There’s a lot here we can’t reveal because of the nature of a sex crime,” said Detective Sgt. Bryan Raffaelli. “If we had pertinent information, then believe me, we’d get that out there in the public.”

The Sheriff’s Office has assigned a detective to investigate the crime, which occurred sometime over the weekend of Nov. 7.
