Police hunting a sex pest who assaulted a girl in the St Stephen’s area of Canterbury have released an e-fit.

The teenager was walking along St Stephen’s Road at 1.30am on September 23 when she was approached by a man who propositioned her.

She continued walking up the road to the recreation ground where he forced himself upon her and sexually assaulted her.

"We are keen to hear from people who might recognise the e-fit or who saw anything that night which could help our investigation.

"It is possible that witnesses in the area that night may have perceived the victim and suspect as a couple, walking and talking together along St Stephen's Road and on the recreation ground."
