       She was sexually assaulted in a wooded area before the teen attacker fled following the horror on September 18.

       Police have now launched a fresh appeal for information after a possible suspect, aged around 13 or 14, was seen getting into a white van.

       The driver, who officers are hoping to trace, has been described as a white woman with dark blonde hair.

       She was stopped next to park and drove off once the suspect got in the van.

       Police say the teen is also described as white and having similar dark blonde hair.

       They confirmed no other reports from the park have been made since the attack but patrols continue.

       A 16-year-old boy arrested at the time has now been released with no further action.

       Detective Inspector Neil Hunt, from the public protection unit, said: “We understand the concerns and impact this awful incident had on the Bournville community.

       "We’re exactly six months on to the date and this has very much remained an ongoing investigation.

       “This was clearly very distressing for the young girl and her family and we've spoken to them ahead of bringing memories back by issuing this fresh appeal.

       "Whoever was involved has never come forward and it's important we do all we can to try and find them as age can be no excuse.

       "We've spent quite some time trawling CCTV, looking at forensic opportunities and speaking to people in the area. We appreciate the descriptions are still not the clearest but we're very keen to speak to the woman who was parked up in a white van and appeared to collect a teenager.

       "He has never been identified and we'd urge him to come and speak to us. If he wasn’t involved we can rule him out and he may have important information.
