An investigation is underway after a woman was assaulted and robbed by a man she met online.

The woman called the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office at 5:51 a.m. Sunday to report the assault, said Chief Deputy David Agee. She told them she met the man in the parking lot of a closed fast-food restaurant in the 1600 block of Center Point Road.

The man, the victim said, convinced her to drive to a park where he assaulted her and later took her car. The car was found in a nearby parking lot and is being processed for evidence.

Agee said detectives are looking at video and other digital evidence that could help identify the suspect.

No additional information is being released at this time.
