Atlanta police have released a sketch of a suspect accused of sexually assaulting a woman while posing as a law enforcement officer.

He was described as white, slender, athletically built and about 6 feet to 6-foot-three, wearing a dark jacket and a star-shaped badge. He had scruffy brown or black facial hair and a skull cap.

Campos says the incident is similar to another in neighboring Cobb County the same day.
