Thames Valley Police have released an e-fit image after a boy was sexually assaulted on London Road in Earley near Reading.

The incident took place on Friday, April 4 where a boy was walking along London Road in Earley and was approached by a man who showed him a video before touching the victim inappropriately over their clothes.

The offender has been described by police as an Asian man in his late 40s or early 50s with dark hair with white patches, baling at the back, of a wide build and around 5ft8.

The offender was wearing a long dark blue top and a black gilet or waistcoat.

Investigating officer PC Danielle Adams said: “I am appealing to anybody who witnessed what happened to please contact us.

“I would particularly like to hear from anybody who may have dash-cam footage, which may have captured the incident.
