POLICE set up an information caravan at Seaford train station, Friday, in an attempt to glean information about a man who attacked and sexually assaulted a woman in Seaford earlier this month.
Sexual Crimes Squad detectives say a 19-year-old woman was walking home from the station along Railway Parade, near Seaford North Reserve, 3.10am, Saturday 1 April.
They said she stopped briefly near bushes at a church car park where she was attacked from behind by an unknown man and sexually assaulted. The man ran off in an unknown direction and the woman walked home and raised the alarm.
Acting Sergeant Melissa Seach, of police media, said the man had a tanned complexion with brown hair, thin build and an Australian accent. He was wearing jeans with a belt and a dark coloured T-shirt. He has a distinctive mole on the left side of his cheek or chin and small teeth.
The victim’s black jeans and a Nike runner were left at the scene and police are keen to speak to anyone living nearby who may have seen items of clothing.
Detective Sergeant Rodney Neylan is calling on the man to come forward and talk to police.
“I appeal to the conscience of the man to make contact with us,” he said. “We are gathering evidence which is being analysed so it is only a matter of time before we identify him and knock on his door.”
Anyone with information can submit a confidential report to crimestoppersvic.com.au or call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
