HOUSTON -- Sheriff's deputies are trying to find a man who forced his way into a northwest Harris County home and sexually assaulted a teen, Local 2 reported Monday.

Officials with the Harris County Sheriff's Office released a sketch Monday of a man wanted for questioning in the June 16 sexual assault of a 17-year-old girl inside her family's home near Perry Road and F.M. 1960.

Deputies said the man was in a northwest Harris County neighborhood on June 16 when the girl opened the door and the man forced his way in.

Investigators believe the attacker had been in the area before, selling magazines door to door.

"She was very trusting, had no reason to believe anyone would hurt her and that trust has now been broken and she's going to have to rebuild some of that," the girl's mother told Local 2.

Authorities need help identifying the man or the name of the company that had individuals selling magazines in the area.

The attacker has been described as a 20-year-old white man with an average build and some muscle. He is 5 feet 10 inches tall, and has blond hair and blue eyes.

Anyone with information should call the Harris County Sheriff's Office Sexual Assault Division at (713) 967-5743 or Crime Stoppers at (713) 222-TIPS.
