an attempted sexual assault in Utica.
The Licking County Sheriff’s Office reports, on June 15 at around 2:40

entered her bedroom, held her down and attempted to sexually assault her. The teenager began screaming and the man left
the room. The suspect was wearing a dark
colored or black bandana over his face.
Anyone with information on this crime is urged to
call the Licking County Crime Stoppers at 740-349-6888 or 1-888-488-9058. A
special coding system protects the identity of the caller but allows for the

information about any felony. Information leading to the arrest and indictment
of a felony suspect could qualify the caller for a reward as determined by the

money comes from private individuals, businesses, and foundations that see
Crime Stoppers as an integral tool in the community’s fight against crime.
Tax-deductible donations can be sent to: Licking County Crime Stoppers, Inc.,
