A YOUNG woman has spoken out in a bid to bring her attacker to justice a year after she was sexually assaulted in a park.
The 19-year-old, who cannot be named for legal reasons, said the attack has affected her work and home life and left her constantly looking over her shoulder.
She was walking across playing fields near Ossington Street, Radford, at 2.30am on Saturday, June 30, 2012, when she was attacked.
A man grabbed her from behind and launched a "serious sexual assault".
The victim said: "The attack has affected my whole life and although things are getting better I have been frightened to leave the house.
"These last 12 months have been very hard.
"It's put a strain on my relationship with my boyfriend and my trust in people." Detectives say they want to trace 26-year-old Arish Mahmud Mohammed and speak to him in connection with the assault.
Police released his picture and details in April but have still not found him.
Crimestoppers also offered a £3,000 reward for information which leads to the arrest and conviction of the attacker.
Police said Mr Mohammed has links to Notts, Hampshire, Cardiff and Doncaster.
Acting Detective Inspector Darren Mee said: "The attack that night has left this young woman badly shaken and frightened.
"No one should have to spend their lives in fear and so I am urging anyone with any information that could help our investigation to come forward.
"We would like to hear from anyone who might know Arish Mahmud Mohammed or who might have information about where he is."
Crimestoppers also said information is needed about an unrelated attack on a woman in Lenton on Monday, February 11.
The 19-year-old student was making her way home in the back of a dark green London-style Hackney cab just before midnight.
She was driven to the junction of Trinity Avenue and Albert Road, just off Lenton Boulevard.
There, the taxi driver stopped the car, got into the back and forced the woman to carry out a sex act.
She forced her way out of the cab and was found in a distressed state by a passer-by.
The wanted man is described as Asian, about 40, 5ft 6in, with a big stomach.
He was bald with closely shaved or cropped hair and was wearing a dark jacket or hooded top that had a silver zip.
Crimestoppers is offering a reward of £2,000 for information in relation to this attack.
Glynn Gilfoyle, chairman of Crimestoppers in Notts, said: "This young woman has gone through a horrendous ordeal and has been taken advantage of by a callous individual who she trusted to get her home safely.
"It sickens me to think someone like this is still at large, so I would urge anyone with information that might lead to his arrest to come forward anonymously.
DC Jon Kerry, of Radford Road CID, added: "We would ask anyone who knows who this man is to contact us.
"We have ways of easily eliminating people from our inquiry if you do have concerns about it being someone you know."
Anyone with information about the Radford incident is asked to contact ADI Mee on 101, extension 803 4334 or Crimestoppers.
Those with details about the Lenton attack should call police on 101 or Crimestoppers.
To be eligible for the rewards information must be provided to Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
