Police said they were able to identify a suspect and have since charged him with two counts of sexual assault.

“At this time, we are not naming the individual due to extenuating circumstances,” police said.

“Sexual touching without consent is sexual assault,” police said. “It has a lasting impact on victims and can leave them feeling unsafe and vulnerable in public for many years after the incident.”
