Officers have issued a CCTV image of a man they want to speak to
At around 9pm on Saturday (18 March) a teenage girl was walking on Tilery Lane, near to the Hem Heath pub in Blurton, when she was followed by a man and sexually assaulted.
Staffordshire Police say they've been carrying out a number of enquiries to try and identify who was responsible, and we are now appealing for anyone with information to come forward.
Chief Inspector Rob Hessell, of Stoke-on-Trent South Local Policing Team, said: "This was a very distressing incident for the young girl and we are doing all we can to identify the offender.
“We are also working closely with the young girl and her family.
“We understand there will be concerns, especially as children make their way to and from school.
“We have increased patrols in the area to provide reassurance and if anyone has any information that can assist with our enquiries, please do get in touch."
