Police are searching for a man who allegedly sexually assaulted a teen girl inside an Atlantic City porta-potty.
On Saturday at 12:39 a.m., Atlantic City Police responded to the 3100 block of the boardwalk in response to a sexual assault report. Investigators say a 16-year-old female runaway from Pennsylvania ran into a nearby restaurant and told the staff she had been sexually assaulted. The girl was bleeding heavily from her face, had loose teeth from being struck and was in tears, according to investigators.
The girl told police she met a man on the 3200 block of Pacific Avenue earlier in the night. She claimed they walked on the beach and into a portable toilet. It was there that the man allegedly beat her, sexually assaulted her and robbed her of her money and cell phone after she refused his sexual advances. Police say the girl was knocked unconscious in the attack and the suspect left her inside the porta-potty.
The girl told police the suspect was a black male in his 20βs. She was taken to the AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center for treatment. Her parents were notified in Pennsylvania and responded to the hospital.
If you have any information on this incident, please call the Atlantic City Police Department Criminal Investigations Unit at 609-347-5766.
