Deputies say the afternoon of January 22 the man came at the girl in the backyard of her home in the High Meadow Ranch community just outside of Magnolia. The Montgomery County Sheriff's Office released a sketch of the alleged armed sexual predator, who struck Sunday in the upscale golf course community.
High Meadow Ranch Golf Club manager Caysey Wade says now that word has spread the entire community is concerned.
"It did hit kind of close to home," he said. "You don't really think it is going to happen in your own neighborhood."
Authorities said the suspect had a gun when he walked up to the victim in the backyard, grabbing and struggling with the girl before sexually assaulting the victim and running away into the woods.
Wade says now parents in the area have more questions than answers as they keep their children close and keep a lookout for a suspected predator.
"There is a lot of people on high alert and there is a lot of hunters in this subdivision, so I think if you want to say they are already on standby," he said.
Authorities say the suspect is a white male, with a sunburn-looking face, blue eyes, black eyebrows, wearing black pants, black shoes, and black pullover hoodie with rain jacket material.
Crime Stoppers will pay up to a $1,000 cash reward for information leading to an arrest or indictment of a felony crime. Anyone with information regarding the suspect's identity is asked to contact the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office Detective Division at 936-760-5876 or Crime Stoppers at 800-392-STOP (7867).
