Authorities Looking For Man Who Attacked Teen On South Coast

Authorities are looking for a man who attacked a teenage girl who was hiking in Ventura County. Ventura County Sheriff’s deputies say it happened Thursday afternoon in Oak Park. A 16 year old girl was hiking on Sunnycrest Drive when a man approached, and grabbed the teen.

She was able to break away, and flee the scene. Investigators say the man was wearing dark clothes, and was covered from head to toe so they don’t have a good description of the attacker. But, they do say he was driving a white SUV that didn’t have license plates. The teen was shaken by the incident, but unhurt.
