Attacker: The E-Fit portrait of the man which was put together by his 12-year-old victim
This is the face of a man wanted by police for raping a schoolgirl as she played in a park near her home.The 12-year-old child helped a police specialist put together electronically the distinctive image of the rapist who is believed to be about 45 years old.He struck in a play park where the victim was alone and raped her in adjoining woodland.A senior detective said last night: 'I urge anyone who recognises the description or the man in this picture or who has any information on the incident, to get in touch immediately.'
The girl was raped alongside the play park in Harrowden, near Bradville, Milton Keynes, Bucks.A spokesman for Thames Valley Police said that the incident happened between 2.50pm and 3.30pm in woodland at the end of a play park in Harrowden.'The victim, a 12-year-old girl, had been on her own in the play park when she was sexually assaulted in an area close to the park after which the offender fled.'
Detective Inspector Phil Hayes, in charge of the probe, said: 'The man we want to speak to is white, tanned, around 6ft 3ins tall and of skinny build.'He was aged around 45, wearing a black leather jacket, blue jeans and Dr Martens-style boots. It is believed he spoke with a Scottish accent, had a cut to his lip and had black shaved hair with flecks of grey.'We take all allegations of a sexual nature very seriously and we are continuing to investigate this report fully.'
Just hours after detectives issued the image they were called to a new incident in which a schoolgirl was attacked on a bridge and sexually assaulted. The latest incident happened at 7.30 in the morning as the girl was walking over the bridge towards Avebury Boulevard, Milton, Keynes, Bucks. Police said that she was pushed over and then molested by a man wearing boots with steel toecaps. It was not yet known whether the same man was responsible for both incidents.
