NEW ORLEANS -- New Orleans police officers are searching for a man who forced a woman to perform oral sex on him while he threatened her with her life.
The incident happened July 23 at about 4 a.m. in the 2600 block of General Ogden, said NOPD spokeswoman Hilal Williams.
Williams said the suspect rode up on a silver bicycle to the porch where the victim was sitting. The suspect asked for a light before grabbing her and demanding money. After the victim said she didn't have any money, the suspect took her purse, brought her to the backyard of the home, and then told her to lie on the ground.
At that point, the suspect implied he had a weapon and forced the victim to perform oral sex on him. After the victim screamed and ran into the home, the suspect fled on the bicycle in a river bound direction on Belfast Street.
The suspect is a black man, around 20 years old, around 5 feet 6 inches to 5 feet 7 inches in height, and approximately 160 pounds with a medium build and complexion. He was last seen wearing a red polo style short sleeve shirt, blue jeans and tennis shoes riding a silver bicycle.
The NOPD released a computer sketch of the suspect that you can see above.
