A CCTV image has been released of a man wanted for questioning over the rape of a 61-year-old woman.
Detectives from Brighton and Hove CID are appealing for information about the identity of the man captured on camera in a Hove off-licence on January 8.
Officers are keen to speak to the man so they can eliminate him from their inquiries after a 61-year-old woman from Scotland reported that she was raped in the early hours of Wednesday, January 9.
The victim met a man in the Old Steine area and went with him to a bar in St James’s Street at about 10pm.
They then left in a taxi and went to a property in the Blatchington Road area of Hove, where the woman said she was assaulted.
Detective Constable Kerri Bartup said: “Investigations have been ongoing since the victim reported the assault to officers a few days later.
“She has been very affected by the incident and we are hoping that by releasing the CCTV image a second time, along with some further information, someone may recognise the man we wish to speak to.”
Anyone with information should call 101 quoting serial 936 of 10/1, or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
