The police are continuing to appeal to the public to identify a man in connection with an investigation into serious sexual offences in Swindon.
In February, Wiltshire Police appealed for help in identifying two men in connection with the investigation. One of the men has now been identified and is one of five men who have been arrested in total.
Officers are still seeking the public’s assistance in identifying the man shown in pictures taken in April-May 2022.
The man is of a large build with scarring to the back of his head, prominent lips, a hairy body, balding with short or shaved hair, and one distinctive tattoo on the left side of his chest at the time.
The victim is a woman in her 40s. There is no information to suggest there are any further victims in connection with this incident.
Senior investigating officer Detective Superintendent Geoff Smith said: “This is a significant investigation with multiple suspects.
“We appreciate the graphic nature of these images and that they may be triggering to some people, however we need the public’s help to identify this man.
“It is unknown whether he lives in Swindon or from outside the county, which is why we request that this is shared as widely as possible to assist our bid to identify him.
“It is important to state that all information has been released with the victim’s full pre-sight and support, and she continues to be supported by specially trained officers.
“I’d also like to thank the numerous members of the public who called in following our appeal in February.
“If you think you recognise this man, please call 101 and quote reference number 54240080286.
“Information can also be left anonymously with Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.”
