In 2026, South Yorkshire Police detectives released an e-fit likeness and issued a public appeal for information following a reported sexual assault committed against a woman in Sheffield.
According to investigating officers, the incident took place inside a premises situated in Winn Gardens, Sheffield, where an unknown male approached the victim. The suspect proceeded to grab the woman by her foot before subjecting her to a sexual assault.
Following a formal report made to police in February 2026 regarding the incident, specialist detectives launched an inquiry and conducted extensive initial lines of investigation. Specially trained officers have been providing ongoing support to the victim, working alongside her to generate a detailed composite e-fit image of the suspect.
Police released the following description of the offender:
Black male, aged approximately 20 years old
Standing roughly 6ft tall with a medium physical build
Short dark hair accompanied by a short dark beard
Dressed in a reddish, waist-length open leather jacket paired with blue jeans
South Yorkshire Police are appealing directly to residents of Winn Gardens and the wider Sheffield area who recognize the man depicted in the e-fit or who may have information concerning his identity to contact law enforcement.
Information can be supplied to South Yorkshire Police by calling 101, via online live chat, or through the force’s digital reporting portal, quoting investigation reference number 14/40993/26.
