A sexual predator accused of assaulting an elderly woman is on the loose Friday. Dalton Police need your help finding the man who broke into the woman's home on Vann Circle Thursday morning and sexually assaulted her. It was along this quiet neighborhood that Police say a woman was sexually assaulted. What happened to her shouldn't have happened. It shouldn't have happened to anybody, said neighbor Robbie Boyd. Robbie Boyd is in shock Friday after hearing why her neighbor's home was broken into. Police believe the sole purpose was sexual assault. It's causing us some concern because it's unusual for a stranger on stranger attack like that, especially someone at that age, said Dalton Police Officer Matthew Locke. Police said a white male in his upper 20's or late 30's knocked on the victim's door Thursday morning. The victim unlocked the door to see what the man wanted. That's when he forced his way inside and sexually assaulted her. It takes a bad person to do something like that, said Boyd. One neighbor we talked to didn't want to go on camera but said the victim came crying to her apartment after it happened. The victim told the neighbor she tried to fight off the man but wasn't strong enough. Neighbors cannot believe something like this could happen in their neighborh
