Elderly Woman Attacked Outside Her Home

Police tell Channel 7 that the attack occurred Sunday evening (3/26) when the attacker entered the woman's home through an unlocked door and demanded money.

The woman told the man she had no money and attempted to push him out the door. The attacker pulled the victim outside with him and sexually assaulted her outside the home.

Police say the woman was only able to provide vague details and no one else has come forward with information about the assailant.
