Police are hunting this suspect who they say launched a sex attack on a 16 year-old girl as she slept at a home in South-West London seven months ago.
The Ghanaian man – known only as ‘Yao’ – had already fled his address without forwarding details when the girl reported the offence, which occurred in Manor Road, Mitcham.
He may be in the country illegally, but police believe he may still have family and friends in the local area, who may have information as to his whereabouts.
He is described as a black man, approx 5’ 4", with short afro hair.
Police have information that he may have been seen in the Thornton Heath, Croydon area in December and January but have no reported sightings since.
Officers are keen to hear from anyone who has information.
Detective Constable David Gadsby of Sapphire Command, said: “It is really important that we find out where this man is and who he is.
“We urgently need to speak to him regarding this allegation and we want to ensure that no other young women are vulnerable to attacks.
“We appeal to the local and Ghanaian community to give us information, or for this man to come forward and talk to us.”
If you have information please call the Sapphire incident room on 020 8649 4009 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
