Sexual assault suspect

The West District RCMP Crime Reduction Unit is releasing a sketch of a man suspected of committing a sexual assault in Burton, N.B., in hopes that someone from the public might recognize him.

The assault would have occurred on the morning of October 16, 2017, near the cemetery along Route 102, near the Burton Bridge.

The suspect is described as being relatively tall, with a stocky build and a light complexion. He had short brown hair, green eyes and a square face. He told the victim that his name was "Ethan Morehouse", although the police investigation has determined that was likely not his real name. At the time, he was driving a gray or blue car with gray leather seats, and spoke English to the victim.

Anyone who may recognize the man in the sketch, the name he used, or have any information about the incident is asked to contact the West District Crime Reduction Unit at 506-473-3137. To provide information anonymously, contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or www.crimenb.ca.
