CLEARWATER – Police say an attack on a woman near an elementary school earlier this week was not random.
The woman, who told officers a man sexually battered and robbed her in the parking lot at Plumb Elementary School early Monday morning, had placed an escort service ad on at least two websites and had made arrangements to meet a man across the street from the school, according to detectives.
It is not known why the two moved on to the school’s property, where the woman told detectives the attack had occurred.
Monday, police described the suspect as a 17 or 18 year old black male about 5 foot 6 inches tall. They said he weighed around 170 pounds and was last seen wearing black shorts, black Nikes, and a purple and orange jersey and ball cap.
