Police are appealing for information following a serious sexual assault on a 15-year-old girl in Madeley, Telford.

Teenage girl sexually assaulted in Telford

The girl was assaulted in Madeley Community Orchard near St Michael's Church at around 9.40pm on Thursday 20 August.

The offender is described as a white male, in his early 20s, about 6ft and was wearing a dark hooded top.

Detective Inspector Jason Everett, the investigating officer, said: "We are taking this offence very seriously and urge anyone with information to come forward to police.

"We want to hear from anyone who was in the area at the time and who may have seen a man of this description.

"This would have been a traumatic incident for the victim and we commend her for coming forward and reporting this to us.

"This is an isolated incident and we want to reassure the community we are doing everything we can to find the suspect whilst working with the victim to support her through this time."

Anyone with any information should call West Mercia Police on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
