Police are searching for a man in his 50's who sexually assaulted a 13-year-old girl. The man, whose accent indicated he was from Liverpool, touched the girl's chest as she walked along a jitty in Barwell. The incident happened between Kerry Close and Hereford Close shortly before 7am on Thursday, October 2. Police released details today. The girl has worked with police to draw up a detailed description of the suspect. He is white, 50 to 55, "slightly" fat and approximately 5ft 7ins. He is balding with tufts of hair around his scalp and had a grey and brown beard. He was wearing blue stonewash jeans and a black rain jacket, which were grubby. His jeans had wet mud on them and his fingernails were dirty. The victim said he smelt strongly of body odour. Pc Shauna Ashton said: "This was obviously a distressing for the victim. "She has been able to provide quite a detailed description of the suspect and I would encourage anyone who thinks they may know who it is to please get in touch, even if you don't have a name for him. "Maybe he lives down the road from you, or you have seen him in your area. Please get in touch." Contact Pc Ashton on 101 or Crimestoppers, which is anonymous, on 0800 555 111.
