Over a year after a woman reported being sexually assaulted, Comox Valley RCMP have released a sketch that resembles the suspect.
According to the victim, she was walking around Sandwick Park in Courtenay on April 11, 2018 at approximately 7:30 p.m. when she was grabbed from behind by an unknown man.

The suspect then forced her to a forested area where he then sexually assaulted her.
“This has been a very active investigation since it was reported last April,” said Cst. Shana MacQuarrie, of Comox Valley RCMP.
“We are hopeful that the release of this sketch will prompt a member of the public to contact the RCMP and assist us in identifying the suspect.”
He is described as a Caucasian man, approximately 35-45 years old, stands around 5’9″ tall, and has light reddish hair with similar coloured facial hair.
At the time of the incident, the suspect was wearing a black jacket and possibly dark jeans.
