STERLING, VA — This one's about as creepy as they come. A woman awoke in her bed early Wednesday morning to find an unknown man groping her at a residence in the 46000 block of Clarion Terrace, according to the Loudoun County Sheriff's Office. The suspect is described as black, medium height, short hair and with a stocky build. He was wearing a black sweatshirt and baggy blue jeans.
Shortly before 4:45 a.m., the woman reported the incident to police. She said that when she woke up and realized what was happening, the suspect fled without saying anything to the woman. A search was conducted with a K-9 unit to no avail. There were no signs of forced entry to the home. Anyone with information is urged to call 703-777-0475.
