The indecent assault and battery took place June 6 about 7 a.m. near the intersection of Wainwright and Centre streets, according to police. The intersection is down the street from Reverend Loesch Family Park, though it wasn't clear if the incident took place there.
Anyone with information about what happened was strongly urged to contact detectives in the Boston police sexual assault unit by calling 617-343-4400, or by reaching out anonymously to the phone line 1-800-494-TIPS or texting "TIP" to the number 27463, which spells CRIME.
