Detectives have released an e-fit image of a man they would like to speak to in connection with a serious sexual assault in Aldershot on Saturday, July 3.

Between 2pm and 3pm a 15-year-old girl and a 14-year-old girl were walking through Aldershot town centre when they bumped into a man. They spoke to him briefly but he didn’t speak very good English and they left.

The teenagers then went to sunbathe in Manor Park. While they were there they were approached by the same man who came and sat down with them.

When the girls went to leave the park at around 4.15pm the man followed them. He then grabbed the 15-year-old girl and sexually assaulted her.

The victim screamed and the man then walked off.

The man is described as:

22 years old

Tanned skin

Long face and two moles on his face

Sharp jaw

5ft 8ins to 5ft 10ins tall

Muscular and athletic build

Short, dark hair

Spoke with a Romanian accent

Wearing a brown short sleeve t-shirt with a pattern on the front, blue light coloured shorts and dirty canvas trainers

Detective Constable Andy Panter, of Aldershot CID, said: “This was an unusual but very serious incident that happened during the day at a busy park.

“We want to hear from anyone who recognises the man in the image as soon as possible.

“The victim screamed during the incident and other people in the park would have heard her and may have seen something.”
