Police have released an image of a man they want to trace after a woman was sexually assaulted in a county town.
The woman was subjected to a serious assault by two men in Scalford Road, Melton in the early hours of Sunday, May 14.
She has worked with detectives to create the image – known as an e-fit – of a man Leicestershire Police wants to speak to.
The attack took place between 1am and 2am as the woman was walking past Catherine Dalley House.
Police said she was approached by two men who sexually assaulted her.
Detective Constable Felicity James said: “We appreciate some time has passed since this offence is said to have taken place.
“However I would like to reassure people that we have been carrying out inquiries throughout this period and have only just completed the image with the woman concerned.
“Our inquiries have included a CCTV trawl and extensive house to house inquires.
“We have remained in regular contact with the victim throughout the investigation and it is only very recently she has felt able to provide us with a full statement and the image.
“If you know who this could be please come forward.
“We would ask people to remain vigilant when out in the early hours of the morning, and report any suspicious behaviour to the police.
