St. Petersburg Police detectives are offering a $3,000 reward for anyone with information about a man who assaulted a 15-year-old girl.

The victim's mother called St. Petersburg police Saturday, May 27 at approximately 12:48 a.m. to report her daughter ran away. 

At 4:26 a.m. police responded to a call about an injured and dazed young woman walking on 22nd Avenue South near 12th Street. Police determined it was the young woman.
