Boulder Police Search For Sex Assault Suspect

BOULDER, Colo. (CBS4)- Police in Boulder are searching for a man who broke into a woman's home, touched her inappropriately and stole her wallet.

The victim told police that she was awoken about 5:20 a.m. on Sunday by a man who was pulling off her bed covers with one hand while touching her leg with the other hand.

When the victim yelled at the suspect to get out of the apartment, he implied he was in the wrong place and referred to the victim with an incorrect name while making a verbal sexual innuendo.
