Police searched the area but the offender had vanished.

The sickening attacked happened on Monday, June 15 at a house in Whittle Street, Toll Bar.

Police have described the suspect as a white man, around 5ft 7ins tall, of slim build who spoke with a local accent. He was wearing a dark top, black plimsoll-style footwear with a white rim around them, and brown or black gloves.

It is believed the offender got into the house by breaking a window at the back of the property.

send her back, but later found KB in Phoenix, kidnapped her, and put her to work as
a prostitute.  KB eventually allowed appellant to be her pimp as she was upset
