Fawkner Sexual Offences and Child Abuse Investigation Team detectives are hoping to identify a man as part of their investigation into a sexual assault at a Craigieburn pool earlier this year.
The incident occurred at an aquatic centre on Central Park Avenue about 2.20pm on Sunday, 10 January.
Investigators have been told a 16-year-old girl was playing water volleyball with friends when two unknown males approached and began playing with them.
During the game one man sexually assaulted the girl in the water.
She swam away and he followed her before asking her to go to the bathroom with him.
Approximately thirty minutes later, the man approached the victim at a kiosk and again asked her to come with him.
The girl left the pool and subsequently reported the man to police.
Following a thorough investigation, detectives have today released CCTV images of a man who they believe can assist with their investigation.
The man is perceived to be Middle Eastern in appearance, aged approximately 20-years-old, about 187cm tall, with a solid build and a short buzz cut.
He was wearing black board shorts with a red and white stripe.
Anyone who recognises the man or anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential crime report at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au
