Police investigate sexual assault incident on North Henry Street

Police are looking for a male assailant after a 20-year-old Madison woman reported being inappropriately touched on the 500 block of North Henry Street in the early hours of Sunday morning, according to a Madison Police Department incident report.

The assailant told the woman that he was from France, but he appeared to have a limited knowledge of the language, MPD Public Information Officer Joel DeSpain wrote in the report.

After the woman consented to hugging the man, he then inappropriately grabbed her.

The woman described the 5-foot-7-inch suspect as a white or Hispanic male with short dark hair. He was wearing a black leather jacket and dark pants, according to the report.
