ATLANTA (CBS ATLANTA) -

Atlanta police need your help to find the man wanted in a violent sexual assault in southwest Atlanta.

Police said the assault happened on Aug. 25 on Campbellton Road in southwest Atlanta.

According to the police report, the suspect begged her to have sex with him.

The victim told police her attacker said, "Please, please let me just do it," and then dropped his pants.

"A small child inside the residence let the suspect in without the victims knowledge," Lt. Janet Brady said.

Brady is the commander of the Atlanta Police Department's Special Victims Unit.

"Once inside the residence, the suspect asked the victim for consensual sex and she said no in no uncertain terms," Brady said.  "After that, he physically forced himself upon her and forcibly attempted to try and remove her clothing."

Police said she was able to overpower him and push him away. A neighbor heard her screaming and was able to scare the attacker away.

Police released a composite sketch taken from the victim's statements.

The man goes by the name of "Faco" and is around 32 years old, 5'10" to 6' tall, has a slim to average build, two gold teeth and long dreads that hang past his shoulders.

He has a tattoo on one of his forearms and a tattoo on his neck. He is known as a neighborhood tattoo artist.

"He is a dangerous man," Brady said.  "Any man who forces himself onto a woman for sex is dangerous. He is known to frequent the Campbellton Road area in SW Atlanta near Childress Drive. He is known to carry a red backpack."

If you have any information about the suspect, please call Crime Stoppers Atlanta at 404-577-TIPS or the Special Victims Unit at 404-546-4260.
