ALVIN, Texas - Authorities need the public's help identifying a man who posed as a home inspector in Alvin and allegedly assaulted an elderly woman.
It happened at a home near West Dumble St and Hill Rd just south of Houston.
The victim's daughter tells FOX 26 that her 81-year-old mother was at home alone when a man with a clipboard, posing as a home inspector entered her house Wednesday afternoon.

The victim's daughter tells FOX 26 that the man took off his clothes and began touching himself inappropriately.
That woman now has bruises and is shaken up, according to her family.
