An E-fit of a motorcyclist who sexually assaulted a female jogger in broad daylight in near a canal last month has been released by police this afternoon.

The 30-year-old victim was jogging on a towpath near Iver at about 1pm on Sunday April 17 when she was grabbed, pulled to the ground and inappropriately touched by a man who had driven past her on a scrambler motorbike five minutes later.

She sustained minor injuries, including a bloody nose, grazed right elbow, grazed right hip and cuts to both of her knees.

The incident happened between two bridges on the towpath opposite Farlows Lake near where the Colne Brook enters the canal.

The offender is white, in his thirties, about 5ft 8ins, slim, with pale brown/dark blonde short hair and distinctive pale grey eyes.

He was wearing a light grey hooded top and dark grey baggy trousers. The scrambler motorbike had an ‘L’ plate on the rear. No other details about the vehicle are available.

Investigating officer, Det Con Lucie Roberts of Force CID based in Aylesbury, said: “I would appeal to anyone who recognises the man in the E-fit to please come forward to police immediately. The easiest way to do this is by calling 101 or you can visit your nearest police station.

“This was an extremely frightening and distressing incident for the victim. Although the area is quite remote, the victim saw two cyclists pass her at the same time as the motorcyclist at around 1pm, shortly before the incident happened.

“After the assault, the woman approached a fisherman on the canal side and used his phone to call police. We are keen to speak to the cyclists, fisherman or anyone else who may have any information about the offender or vehicle.”
