Cops hunt boy after teen girl raped in alleyway when she was separated from her friends
POLICE are looking for a boy after a teenage girl was raped in an alleyway after being separated from her friends.
Officers have released CCTV of three people they want to speak to for their investigation.
The girl was out socialising in Bristol last summer when she was attacked and cops are yet to identify a suspect.
Avon and Somerset Police's DC Toby Hayes said: “This was a truly awful offence on an innocent young girl.
"She was out socialising in Bristol city centre last summer when she met a boy who separated her from her friends and attacked her in an alleyway.
"We’ve worked tirelessly to investigate this incident but regrettably we are yet to identify the offender.
"We have now reached a point in our inquiry where we need the public’s help.
“We’re releasing an image of a young man dressed all in black who we hope the public might be able to tell us who he is.
“We’re also asking for the public’s help to identify an adult and a young child in other images we’re releasing as we think they may have witnessed part of the incident.
“We appreciate the images aren’t the best quality but we still hope someone might recognise those in them and help us obtain justice for the victim.

"What she went through was horrendous and I’d like to praise her for the bravery and courage she continues to show while we try to catch her attacker.”
