The 16-year-old boy was walking along a street when he was approached by a man and asked for a cigarette light before he was sexually assaulted and raped.
The attack happened at around 4am on March 16 in the area of Bond Close and Southwick Road.
The offender was described as white, 5ft 11inl and of slim build. He had short dark hair in no particular style, was unshaven and spoke with a local accent.

"We would appeal for the public’s help and ask that anyone with information or anyone who recognises the man from his description come forward as they may have vital information to assist with our enquiries.
