Thames Valley Police have released an image of a man they want to speak to following a sexual assault in Slough town centre earlier this year. An 18-year-old woman was walking along the High Street at approximately 7pm on Friday, 13 February 2026, when she was approached and inappropriately touched by an unknown man.
The image, known as an e-fit, was shared by officers on 30 March 2026 to help identify the individual involved. The suspect is described as an Asian man in his late twenties or early thirties. He is said to have a small, skinny face with short black hair, dark stubble, and a noticeable bump on his nose. At the time of the incident, he was wearing a black puffer jacket and dark jogging bottoms.
Investigating officer PC Nikolaos Spathis is leading the inquiry and has urged anyone who recognises the man in the image to come forward. Information can be reported to the police by calling 101 and quoting reference number 43260075068. Those who prefer to remain anonymous can contact the independent charity Crimestoppers.
This investigation comes amid recent local data concerning public safety. Statistics indicate that Slough is currently the most dangerous major town in Berkshire, with a crime rate of 78 incidents per 1,000 people in 2026, which is 28 per cent higher than the average for the South East. Furthermore, recorded sexual offences in Berkshire East, a region that includes Slough, Maidenhead, and Windsor, rose by 12.5 per cent between October 2024 and September 2025.
