The assault took place in a public car park behind Strood Sports Centre, sometime between 10.10pm and 11.50pm.
According to the police, a teenage girl was approached by a stranger while she was standing in Witham Way. He allegedly led her to the parking area near Humber Crescent, where he sexually assaulted her. The suspect is described as a white man in his early 20s, about five feet and seven inches tall, with straight brown hair.

Detective Inspector Adam Marshall of Kent Police’s Major Crime Unit, said: ‘We believe the suspect may have been at a party in the area that night. We are urging anyone who was there and has any information that could help our investigation, to get in touch with the appeal line.
