The Morris County Sheriff’s CrimeStoppers program is offering up to $1,000 for information that helps authorities apprehend suspects in a Morristown sexual assault case.

Sheriff James Gannon’s office on Thursday released a sketch of a man sought in connection with the assault, which authorities say occurred around 3:41 pm Tuesday on the Traction Line, a recreational path from Morristown to Madison that parallels NJ Transit tracks.

Authorities say two males approached a female and asked for money; when she did not give them money, one of the males pushed her to the ground and sexually assaulted her while the other stood by.

Both suspects are described as Hispanic, and about 20 years old. One has black hair, and was last seen wearing a white polo shirt and blue jeans.

The other was last seen wearing a black hat, black hoodie sweatshirt with white lettering on the back, and black pants. One of the suspects was also seen riding a bicycle.
