What a creep: a 40-year-old suspect is on the loose after a 42-year-old woman awoke in her Chinatown home early yesterday morning to find him touching her butt. The victim was unharmed aside from the really icky feeling of having one's home invaded by a butt toucher, and nothing was stolen other than the woman's sense of security.

The suspect fled the home on Jackson Street near Powell around 2 a.m. Thursday and police had not found the guy as of Friday morning. It seems doubtful that the butt-toucher will be brought to justice with little description to go on other than his age (40-ish) and his preference for the callipygian.

Still, if you know anything you are encouraged, as always, to call SFPD's anonymous tip line at (415) 575-4444 or via text message to TIP411.
