VANCOUVER, Wash. - Police say a woman was raped at knifepoint in her own home by a man who claimed to be a magazine salesman.

The crime happened around 3 p.m. on Oct. 25 at a home near Stapleton Road and Fourth Plain.

According to police, a woman answered her door and a man with a clipboard in his hand told her he was selling magazine subscriptions. But when she declined, he produced a knife, forced his way in and then sexually assaulted her. Police said the woman was so scared that she passed out and the man got away.

It is unclear whether the man was actually a magazine salesman who committed the crime while working or whether he was pretending to be one just to get access to the victim. The woman did not know the man.
