ELLSWORTH — The Maine State Police are continuing to investigate the rape of a young woman in Sorrento in July.
Authorities searched the area and put up roadblocks to question area motorists and look for the suspect the day the rape allegedly occurred, July 23.
The Maine State Police Criminal Investigative Division II is investigating the alleged rape.
“We have been following up on investigative leads as they come in and will continue to do so,” said Lt. Gary Wright.
The suspect is described as a white man in his 30s with dirty blond, shoulder-length hair who is 5 feet 11 inches to 6 feet tall. The man was driving an older model dark-green minivan, police said.
