AURORA, Colo. (CBS4) - Police in Aurora would like the public's help in their investigation into an attempted sexual assault on a teen girl in early April.
According to police, around noon on April 7 a 15-year-old girl was walking on the west side of Sable Street when she was approached by a man driving an SUV who asked her how old she was.
"(The) suspect identified himself as 'Chris' and grabbed the victim placing her into the back seat.
