SACRAMENTO, CA - A suspect has been identified in the attempted rape of a Sacramento woman while she was sleeping, say police.

Investigators were looking for Johnta Lexus Waters, 20, on suspicion of entering the victim's home on Friday, Oct. 12, at approximately 1:20 a.m. and groping her, said Officer Michele Gigante.

The victim's screaming scared off the attacker.
