Schoolgirl, 14, is raped in London park in broad daylight, police release CCTV image of suspect

A 14-year-old schoolgirl was raped in a park in broad daylight between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. on September 4.

She was assaulted by a man in a secluded area of Avery Hill Park in south east London and so far, no arrests have been made. The Metropolitan Police’s Child Abuse and Sexual Offences Command are still looking for the attacker while the victim is currently being supported by specialist officers.

The Met have released CCTV images of the suspect in a bid for information about the attack. Police described the suspect as a black man, believed to be in his 20s. He is slim with short black hair and a moustache. He was last seen wearing sand-coloured combat trousers, dark blue shoes, and sun glasses with black round lenses and carrying a grey drawstring bag.

DC Mark Azariah from the Child Abuse and Sexual Offences Command said: “This was a horrendous attack on a vulnerable girl in the middle of the day. If you were in and around the area and saw anyone matching the description of the suspect or saw anything suspicious I would urge you to get in touch. Likewise, if you have information about the man wanted for questioning as a result of the images released today, my team are waiting for your call.”
