Police are talking to a person of interest in the case of a sexual predator who’s been terrorizing a north Houston neighborhood for months.
HPD
Police released this sketch of the suspect.
The latest attack happened early Wednesday morning just blocks from where two other incidents occurred last week.
Rita Garcia said she awoke around 2:30 a.m. Wednesday to find a strange man standing over her and her 10-year-old daughter while they slept.
“It was the first time. It freaked me out,” Garcia said.
Police believe the man’s sexual target was her daughter.
Detectives say the man is suspected in ten other incidents in the area, dating back to February.
But this month, the frequency of the break-ins increased dramatically.
A few weeks ago, he crawled into bed with a four-year-old girl and began masturbating, her grandmother said.
And just last Friday, a father said the man broke in and tried to sexually assault his ten-year-old daughter.
All of the victims live in homes located just off the Hardy Toll Road near Crosstimbers, just blocks from HISD elementary schools.
The district said it sent an automated message about the predator to parents at one of the nearby schools.
Area resident Alicia Salgado, along with many of her neighbors, said she is scared and can’t sleep knowing a sexual predator could be lurking nearby.
Theres a drawing done by a Polce Artist on this page as well, I hope they catch the SOB asap.
