The skate park in Graig y Rhacca

Police have re-appealed for information after a 12-year-old girl was sexually assaulted in Graig y Rhacca in June.

The incident happened in a wooded area next to the skate park.

The attacker is described as a tall, slim man in his 20s with light brown hair, which is longer on top and shaved on the sides.

He was wearing blue shorts and a t-shirt.

Detective Chief Inspector Steven Maloney, who is leading the investigation, said: “A dedicated team of detectives continues to work on this investigation and in partnership with other agencies, we are supporting the victim and her family. Officers are still trying to establish the circumstances of the case and identify who is responsible for this.

“Originally, we have appealed for information regarding a specific day, however, following our enquiries, we would like to extend this time-frame to include the day of Thursday, June 13 as well as the original date, Sunday, June 16 – the original date was Father’s Day which may help people recall what you were up to that day, or prior to it.

“If you were in the area on any of these dates and saw anything suspicious, however small, please do get in touch.

“If anyone has any CCTV or dash cam footage for this area that covers these times, please contact us. Your information could prove vital to helping with our investigations.

Anyone with information can contact Gwent Police on 101, quoting log 410 of 30/6/19. Alternatively Crimestoppers can be contacted anonymously on 0800 555 111.
