A 19 year-old woman was sexually assaulted in the smoking area of Chameleon back in July

A CCTV image has been released of a man wanted over a sexual assault in a Southend nightclub.

A 19 year-old woman was grabbed by a man in the smoking area at Chameleon at around 2am on Sunday, 28 July. 

The man sexually assaulted her and then exposed himself. Investigating Officer, Pc Faye Mills, said: "During these past few months, we have been speaking to potential witnesses from the nightclub and examining CCTV from the club as well as other nearby premises. 

"We have finally obtained these images which show a young man who we want to identify and talk to about the assault allegation. 

"We have tried to identify him ourselves, but are now turning to his friends, work or student colleagues and family to help us and, potentially, him. 

"We would also urge him to contact us so that we can possibly eliminate him from our enquiries." 

The man is described as white, aged in his late teens or early 20s, has blonde hair, has a clear facial complexion and, at the time, was wearing a ripped black T-shirt and light-blue skinny jeans.
