Police e-fit appeal after attempted sexual offence on teenager in Leeds cemetery

Officers would like to speak to anyone who recognises the pictured man who they would like to speak to in connection with the offence, which is reported to have taken place within Harehills Cemetery on 11 July last year.

The suspect is described as an Asian man, of medium build, with straight dark hair and a moustache. At the time of the offence, he was wearing a matching blue t-shirt and shorts.

Acting Detective Inspector Victoria Thomas, of Leeds District Safeguarding, said: “The girl involved thankfully got to safety and was not physically harmed. We do though treat offences such as this extremely seriously and have been conducting extensive enquiries since this offence to identify the man involved.

“As part of these enquiries, we have worked with the victim to produce this e-fit image of the suspect.

“I would urge anyone who believes they may know the identity of the pictured man to please come forward. Putting a name forward doesn’t mean that person will automatically get in any trouble, but it might be that your information combined with other police enquiries, could lead to the identification of this man.”

Anyone with information is asked to contact Leeds District Safeguarding via: www.westyorkshire.police.uk/livechat or by calling 101, quoting crime reference 13250394317.
