Police have vowed to bring a child sex attacker to justice after a seven-year-old girl was indecently assaulted on a cycle path.

The victim was targeted in South Queensferry, Edinburgh, between 1.30pm and 1.45pm on Friday, June 3.

One week on from the incident, the police have again appealed for help in tracing the man who carried out the assault near South Queensferry Bowling Club.

Chief inspector James Jones, local area commander for north west Edinburgh, said: "As we expected, the South Queensferry community has come together to help us identify the young girl's attacker and bring him to justice.

"We will continue to maintain a visible presence within the area to speak with local residents and gather any information that may be relevant to this investigation.

"I remain confident that someone within the community knows the suspect or can help us find him. If this is the case, then please contact police immediately."

Police described the attacker as being of "high school age" with hazel brown hair that was swept forward.

He was wearing dark bottoms, a blue round neck T-shirt with white lettering and had a temporary tattoo on one of his hands.

He also had a black and blue rucksack with him, officers said.

Detective inspector Julie Marshall, from the public protection unit in Edinburgh, said: "It is now one week since a young girl was subjected to an indecent assault in a wooded area of South Queensferry and I would firstly like to thank the public for their incredible support and assistance with our inquiries.

"Several members of the local community have already come forward to provide information that continues to be progressed as part of our efforts to trace the suspect."

Anyone with information relating to the indecent assault can contact the police on 101.
