Two women over the past week have reported being sexually assaulted by a man or feeling unsafe while on the Salmon Creek Greenway Trail, according to the Clark County Sheriff's Office.
A woman reported about 3:40 p.m. Sept. 3 that she was sexually assaulted while walking her dog on the trail, east toward Klineline Pond. The woman said an unknown man wearing Velcro gloves ran up behind her and forcefully grabbed her buttocks before continuing on the trail, the sheriff's office said. She described the man as white and in his 20s, standing 5 foot, 9 inches to 5 foot, 10 inches tall with brown shaggy hair and a muscular build.
Deputies are investigating the incident as fourth-degree assault with sexual motivation, the sheriff's office said.
Then, on Monday, another woman reported feeling unsafe while running on the trail, according to the sheriff's office. An unknown man appeared to be recording her with his phone as she ran on the trail. She described the man as white and very tan, standing 5 foot, 9 inches to 5 foot, 10 inches tall with a muscular build. He was wearing a tan, long-sleeved shirt and had a mask pulled over his nose.
Deputies are continuing to investigate both incidents.
