Investigators in Montgomery County are searching for a sexual assault suspect, officials from the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO) said.

According to a statement released by MCSO, a juvenile victim was playing in the backyard of a home in the High Meadow Ranch subdivision, south of Magnolia, when a white male approached with a gun.
