POLICE officers are no longer looking to identify a woman they were looking to speak to in connection with a sexual assault.
Essex Police says officers were called to reports a man had been sexually assaulted on Saturday, November 11 in High Street, Colchester.
The victim reported being sexually touched by an unidentified suspect, which led to the force asking for the public's help to identify two women.
A force spokesman said: "We released images of two women we wanted to speak to but believe we have now identified the suspect. Our inquiries are ongoing."
