She told ABC11 the moment she woke up, she knew she had been sexually assaulted.

The victim said she's "pissed" and said that the suspects are "cowards," adding that she believes she was targeted because she's seen the men in the neighborhood before.



Investigators are looking for two white males in their mid-20s to early 30s. One was wearing a grey coat and the other was wearing a red coat.
