A 14-year-old girl was sexually violated on a walking track in Greymouth last month, police say.
The January 16 incident was reported to police today and an investigation has begun.
Detective Sergeant Kirsten Norton, of Greymouth, said the girl was attacked about 5pm on the West Coast wilderness trail in
the Blaketown area, behind the BMX Park and near the aerodrome.
"She was walking south when she was attacked from behind by an unknown male and sexually violated in an area off the track."
Police want to speak with anyone who may have been in this area around that time, particularly anyone who saw a man behaving suspiciously, Norton said.
