CHICAGO (CBS) -- Chicago Police are searching for the man who sexually assaulted a lost 10-year-old girl at the Museum of Science and Industry. 

The girl told police she was separated from her group Thursday morning when a man offered to help her.

He is between 5 feet 10 inches tall and 6 feet 3 inches tall and weighs about 160 to 180 pounds. He also has a tattoo of a roaring lion on his neck.
