Six-year-old girl sexually assaulted in Vancouver

Vancouver police say a man lured a sixyear-old girl from an elementary school playground and sexually assaulted her.

Police say it happened on Dec. 5 when the girl was in the playground area outside Sexsmith Elementary School in south Vancouver.

Const. Jason Doucette says the man took her to a nearby location where he assaulted her and brought her back to school the same day, but police weren’t notified until late the next day.

The suspect is described as a darkerskinned man, about 30 years old, with brown or grey hair and wearing grey pants.
