DETECTIVES today released a computer-generated image of a man wanted in connection with a serious sexual assault on a girl of 14.

The attack happened on waste ground off Dane Valley Road, Broadstairs, in April this year.

The schoolgirl, who lives in the seaside town, has helped police put together the image.

Det Sgt Ron Beck, of Margate Police, said: “I want anyone who thinks they recognise this man to come forward.”

The attacker is aged around 20, 5ft 7ins tall, thin, with short black hair and a tattoo containing words on at least one of his inner forearms. He also had a diamond-style stud in one of his ears.

He was wearing dark tracksuit bottoms with stripes down the sides, a blue hooded top with writing across the chest, dark blue baseball cap and white trainers.

Anyone with any information is asked to contact DS Beck at Margate police station on 01843 222093 or Kent Crimestoppers anonymously on freephone 0800 555 111.
