E-fit image released after a rape in Stevenage
Detectives would like to identify the man as part of their ongoing investigation
Hertfordshire Constabulary have released an e-fit image of a man they would like to identify as part of an ongoing enquiry into a rape in Stevenage.
An e-fit image is an image of a person either believed to have committed a crime or who is missing, created on a computer using the description of someone who saw them.
It was reported that a 16-year-old girl was sexually assaulted in a wooded area between Hampson Park and Lonsdale Road, sometime between 12 and 1pm on May 30th 2022.
"If you think you may recognise them, please get in touch"
Detective Sergeant Georgina Fenge, from the Sexual Offences Investigation Team, said: "Understandably this was a devastating ordeal for the victim who did not feel able to report what had happened to her straight away.
“Our investigation is ongoing and we are now in a position to release an e-fit image of a man we would like to identify as part of our enquiries. If you think you may recognise them, please get in touch with us.
She concluded: "I appreciate that this incident will have caused a great deal of concern among the community and would like to reassure people that we are doing all we can to investigate. It is currently being treated as an isolated incident and not connected to any other live investigations."
