Ticket To Rye Sex Assault

British Transport Police (BTP) have released this image of a suspected train sex pest after a woman travelling to the coast with friends was molested.

Detectives are treating the investigation as sexual assault and are appealing to members of the public for their assistance in identifying the unknown male.

The incident occurred on-board a train between Ashford International and Rye in Kent. 

At around 11.30am on May 27, the victim was travelling towards to Camber Sands with three friends.

As part of the journey they boarded a service from Ashford to Rye and stood in the train’s carriage. 

A man was also standing in the carriage and during the journey he sexually assaulted the victim. 

When the train arrived at Rye, the man put on a black surgical mask and ran out of the station.

Detectives believe the man in the image may have information which could help their investigation.

If you recognise him, or have any information, please contact BTP by texting 61016 or calling 0800 40 50 40 quoting reference 396 of 27 May.

Alternatively, you can call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
