A 15-year-old victim reported she was walking in the area of Corona Avenue and Parkridge Avenue when an unknown suspect drove alongside her, asked her for directions, and demanded she enter his vehicle. The victim complied with the suspect’s demands and entered his vehicle at which time he drove the victim to a residential area where he sexually assaulted her.
