CCTV released in rape investigation



Police have released these CCTV images of a man they are anxious to trace in connection with the rape of a 19-year-old Kent woman on Brighton beach in the early hours of Friday, September 7th.

The man was seen entering the Oceana nightclub at around 10:30pm that evening. Then, in the early hours, he was seen to walk north up West Street towards the Clock Tower and into Duke Street.

Det Insp Ian Still said: "The identity of this man is urgently sought, given that he was close to the area of the attack and within about 20 minutes of it taking place. We would like to talk to him in order to eliminate him from our enquiries.

"He is described as Asian, in his 20s, around 5' 7", of medium build, with short dark hair. He was last seen wearing a light coloured T-shirt with a large motif on the front, blue jeans, trainers and a baseball cap.

"If you know who this man is or you were in the area of the Oceana nightclub or on the beach opposite in the early hours of Friday, September 7th, and saw or heard any suspicious activity then please get in touch.

"Dial 101 or leave a message anonymously with Crimestoppers on 0800 555111."
