Wiltshire Police are continuing to appeal to the public to identify a man in connection with an investigation into serious sexual offences in Swindon.

The appeal follows an initial request in February to identify two men. One of those individuals has now been identified and is among five men who have been arrested in total.
Police are now seeking help identifying a second man shown in photographs taken between April and May 2022. He is described as being of large build, with scarring to the back of his head, prominent lips, a hairy body, balding with short or shaved hair, and a distinctive tattoo on the left side of his chest.
The victim is a woman in her 40s. Police say there is no information to suggest there are any further victims connected to this incident.
Detective Superintendent Geoff Smith, the senior investigating officer, said: “This is a significant investigation with multiple suspects.
"We appreciate the graphic nature of these images and that they may be triggering to some people, however we need the public’s help to identify this man.
"It is unknown whether he lives in Swindon or from outside the county, which is why we request that this is shared as widely as possible to assist our bid to identify him.
"It is important to state that all information has been released with the victim’s full pre-sight and support, and she continues to be supported by specially trained officers. I’d also like to thank the numerous members of the public who called in following our appeal in February.”
Wiltshire Police urge anyone who recognises the man to call 101, quoting reference number 54240080286. Alternatively, information can be provided anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
