Special Crime Detectives investigating the sexual assault of a girl at Blair Athol last week have release a computer generated image of the suspect.
Sometime between 5pm and 5.30pm on Wednesday 3 April, police were called to the reserve which forms part of the Blair Athol Sport Community Club, off Leslie Avenue after reports a man approached a 10-year-old girl and sexually assaulted her in the public toilets.
The suspect is described as an Afghan male, approximately 30 to 50-years-old, with dark hair with a fringe that partially covered his forehead. He was believed to be wearing a grey top, peach shorts and in company with two girls aged between 3 and 5.
Police believe other people were in the vicinity of the reserve at the time of the assault including playing sport, who may have witnessed something unusual or a person acting suspiciously.
Detectives investigating the incident are hoping the image of the suspect may prompt further information from the public to help identify him.
Police have recorded a message in Hazaragi/Dari to appeal directly to the Afghan community who may be able to assist in the matter.
Investigators have also obtained some video footage which shows the young victim riding her bicycle. This footage is being released in the hope that someone may recall seeing her and/or the suspect.
Anyone with information on the incident or who was in the area of the Blair Athol reserve last Wednesday afternoon or evening on the 3 April is asked to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or online at www.crimestopperssa.com.au. Anyone who may have been driving in the area that may have dashcam vision is also asked to come forward.
