Teenager sexually assaulted at Southport station

Do you know who this man is? Officers would like to speak with him after a 16-year-old girl was sexually assaulted at Southport station. 

The assault happened at approximately 8pm on 3 December. The victim was on a platform at the station when a man approached her. 

He started speaking to the girl in Spanish, and then suddenly switched to English with a Scottish accent. The girl, not interested in the man, then went to board a train. The man approached her, stroked her face and then touched her inappropriately. 

The suspect then joined a train to Wigan and is believed to have visited three pubs in Wigan, Harrys Bar, The Dog and Partridge and The Berkley.
