Boardmasters Festival: E-fit image released after girl, 17, raped

An e-fit image has been released after a teenage girl was raped by two men at Boardmasters Festival in Newquay.

Officers say the girl was attacked in a tent at the festival on 13 August 2022.

An e-fit image has been released in the hope it could help police identify the suspects.

The man is described as a white male with a tan, aged between 17 and 23 at the time of the incident, between 5ft 8in and 6ft tall, of muscular build, with blond/brown hair, a ‘slanted’ nose and clean-shaven.

He had a South African accent and was wearing a green necklace and a leather necklace bearing a tooth, police say.

Detectives have also issued a description of a second man they would like to trace.

He is described as a white male with tanned skin, aged around 19, approximately 6ft 3in tall, of slim build and with upper lip hair.

He had an English accent and was wearing a gold ring on his left hand and a gold signet ring on the other hand.

"We continue to provide support to her through specially-trained officers.

"Our enquiries have been ongoing since this crime was reported and we remain committed to finding those responsible.

"We are now releasing an e-fit image and appealing to the public for help.“We would urge people to look at the image carefully and to come forward if you recognise the man."
