The Alpine Sheriff's Station held a community forum today to address concerns regarding a report of a sexual assault.

On July 8th, a woman called the Alpine Sheriff's Station to report a sexual assault. The victim told deputies she had pulled over in the 1200 block of South Grade Road in Alpine on July 7th around 8:00 p.m. when two men in a pickup truck approached her and sexually assaulted her. The woman also described her two attackers.

The investigation is still ongoing; however, the victim’s recollection of the incident now reveal the assault did not happen in the community of Alpine on Monday, July 7th. Investigators are working to establish where the assault occurred and are now focusing on one attacker.

While the case is still being actively investigated, the Alpine Sheriff's Station is confident in advising the community that the incident previously described did not take place and there is no danger to the community as a result.

Here are some safety tips from the Sheriff's Department:
*Always be aware of your surroundings.
*In case you have car troubles, close your windows and stay inside your locked car while calling for assistance.
*Never jog or walk alone.
*If you see something suspicious, say something. Call us right away so we can respond and investigate. Our 24-hour non-emergency line is (858) 565-5200.
*Call 9-1-1- in case of emergency.
