Crime Solvers Case: Two Suspects Involved in Sexual Assault Wanted

Police are looking for two suspects in regards to a sexual assault case from Sept. 4.

Prince William County Police are asking for help locating two suspects wanted in regards to a sexual assault incident that occurred at the 13700 block of Jefferson Davis Highway on Sept. 4.

The victim in this case, a 20-year-old Woodbridge woman, told police that she was standing near the back of the La Luna Restaurant when a silver Chrysler 300 pulled up to her. Out of three men in the vehicle, the victim recognized two men from earlier in the evening. She then got into the car with the men and went to the back of Jefferson Plaza.

Two of the men allegedly prevented the victim from leaving the car, reportedly sexually assaulted her, hit her with a wooden board and stole her purse. Reportedly, one man pulled out a handgun and then two of the men sexually assaulted the woman again before leaving the vehicle.
