ICYMI: Marietta Man Person of Interest in DragonCon Sexual Assault

Atlanta police are distributing the photo of a participant at this weekend’s DragonCon festivities after another attendee said she was sexually assaulted by him.

Police told WSB-TV that the victim was intoxicated and ill when she was sexually assaulted by a man wearing an FBI baseball cap and gray shirt between 3 and 5 a.m. Sunday. The victim described her attacker to a friend, who later took a picture of the man. The victim told police the attacker identified himself as “Gary,” and claimed to be from Marietta.

A $2,000 reward is being offered for information that can lead police to this suspect.

If you recognize the person in the above photo, please contact Crime Stoppers Greater Atlanta by calling 404-577-TIPS (8477), texting “CSA Tip” to CRIMES (274637), or by submitting a tip online. All tips can be made anonymously.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that some 70,000 attendees took to downtown over Labor Day Weekend to celebrate DragonCon, raising some $100,000 for the Lymphoma Research Foundation in the process. Last year’s event drew around 62,000, the AJC said.
