A poster campaign is being launched to aid the hunt for a Lexden sex attacker.

Detectives are investigating three terrifying incidents in the same area, including a serious sexual assault on a 19-year-old woman.

Now the Evening Gazette has backed an appeal to members of the public to come forward with names of possible suspects.

A poster has been printed showing an e-fit picture of the wanted man and giving details of two of the crimes being investigated.

It will be put up in the area of the attacks in the hope that people who think they may know who was responsible for them will call the police or the Crimestoppers number.

Det Supt Gareth Wilson, who is leading the investigation, said: "We'd like to thank the Evening Gazette for all its assistance in this investigation."

Anyone with information is urged to phone the investigations team on 01206 762122 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111
