THIS is the face of the man police want to speak to after a 15-year-old was subjected to a horrific sex attack in broad daylight.

The shocking assault happened as the teenager strolled through the cemetery in Hartshill Road, Northfleet.

The traumatised schoolgirl told how she was approached by the man as she wandered innocently between the gravestones.

He then pulled her onto one of the benches and subjected her to a terrifying sex attack.

Her attacker is described as Asian, aged between 30 and 40, 6ft tall of slim build with black, cropped hair.

On the day of the attack he was wearing a beige long-sleeved jumper, black trousers and black lace-up shoes.
