CORDELIA—

Fairfield Police are looking for a man who assaulted a 16-year-old jogger on a trail in Cordelia.

The girl was running on the American Canyon Green Trail near Oakbrook Drive in Cordeila when the man approached her from behind and asked directions. Once she had answered his question, the girl says the man sexually assaulted her. She was able to fall to the ground, kick the assailant away, and run to her aunt’s home.

The man is described as 18-years-old, thin, with some facial hair.

Fairfield Police search the area extensively, using both a K-9 unit and helicopter to try to locate the girl’s attacker, but they were unsuccessful. They are asking anyone who may have seen a man matching that description in the area of the attack call and help with the investigation.
