From a Sacramento Police Department press release:
The Sacramento Police Department is asking for the community’s help in identifying a sexual predator that attacked a 26-year-old female.
On July 31, 2009, at 7:24 p.m., the male suspect was standing near the 3rd and T Street watching the victim unload items from her car. The
suspect waited for the victim to enter her residence and then approached her door two times. The suspect used a ruse to try and get the victim
to open her door. When the victim opened the door, the suspect forced his way into the residence. The suspect attacked the victim and reached
under her shirt. The victim began to scream causing the suspect to leave.
A composite sketch of the suspect was completed in hopes that someone in the community will recognize him and contact the Police Department.
The Sacramento Police Department urges anyone with information pertaining to this crime to contact Crime Alert at (916) 443-HELP or text in a tip to 274637 (CRIMES). Enter SACTIP followed by the tip information. Callers can remain anonymous and may be eligible for a reward of up to $1,000.

I'm really not impressed with the Crime Alert. The sketch looks a lot like a guy who twice broke into my house trying to sexually assault a female friend of mine (the first time he was chased off by my housemate, the second time I caught him and held him until SPD arrived) so I called it in. They kept asking me questions that I could not answer such as where he lived, his age, etc. and refused to take the report number for his arrest as that would not make my call anonymous anymore. I could care less if the tip was anonymous, I called in to get this guy (if it was him, there's no description and one can only tell so much from a police sketch) off the streets as the DA dropped all charges against him for his two break ins at my house due to "insufficient evidence" (since when is three witnesses "insufficient"?).
