The Athens Police Department is requesting your information pertaining to three criminal acts, connected by DNA, which occurred within the City of Athens.
1. Violent Assault - Athens, Ohio 2006 - 2015
The Athens, Ohio Police Department is actively investigating three separate but related violent assaults which took place in Athens between 2006 and 2015.
1a) On June 20, 2015, at approximately 2:00 AM, a female was walking home from the uptown area. As she walked through the parking lot at the rear of 19 E. Carpenter St, an unknown suspect approached her from behind and attempted to sexually assault her but was scared away by others walking in the area.
DNA evidence obtained as a result of the investigation was submitted to the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation for analysis. The results of the analysis showed the suspect from the 2015 assault was the same suspect that had been identified by DNA in a sexual assault reported in 2006.
1b) In the 2006 incident, a female victim was also walking home from the uptown area when she noticed an unknown white male following her. After arriving at her home, the suspect illegally entered the victim’s home and forcibly raped the victim and then fled the scene. The victim described the suspect as being 5’08” to 5’10” tall, weighing 130 to 150 pounds, with short light-colored hair. This description is very similar to the description provided by the victim of the 2015 incident.
1c) The third incident occurred in December of 2015. Again, the nature of the assault is similar to the prior incidents.
We are seeking information on the suspect who is described as a white male in his late twenties to early thirties, 5’8” to 5’9” tall, and weighing approximately 160 pounds.
Composite images of the suspect are displayed below under April 2016 Crimes of the Month.

The Athens Police Department is requesting your information pertaining to three criminal acts, connected by DNA, which occurred within the City of Athens.
1. Violent Assault - Athens, Ohio 2006 - 2015 UPDATE
The Athens, Ohio Police Department is actively investigating three separate but related violent assaults which took place in Athens between 2006 and 2015.
1a) On June 20, 2015, at approximately 2:00 AM, a female was walking home from the uptown area. As she walked through the parking lot at the rear of 19 E. Carpenter St, an unknown suspect approached her from behind and attempted to sexually assault her but was scared away by others walking in the area.
DNA evidence obtained as a result of the investigation was submitted to the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation for analysis. The results of the analysis showed the suspect from the 2015 assault was the same suspect that had been identified by DNA in a sexual assault reported in 2006.
1b) In the 2006 incident, a female victim was also walking home from the uptown area when she noticed an unknown white male following her. After arriving at her home, the suspect illegally entered the victim’s home and forcibly raped the victim and then fled the scene. The victim described the suspect as being 5’08” to 5’10” tall, weighing 130 to 150 pounds, with short light-colored hair. This description is very similar to the description provided by the victim of the 2015 incident.
1c) The third incident occurred in December of 2015. Again, the nature of the assault is similar to the prior incidents.
We are seeking information on the suspect who is described as a white male in his late twenties to early thirties, 5’8” to 5’9” tall, and weighing approximately 160 pounds.
This composite drawing was developed by the victim of the 2015 incident.
