Police have rape suspect’s DNA profile

Police have a DNA profile of the man who sexually assaulted a woman at North Adelaide last month, but the profile does not match any in the national database.

On September 6, a 23-year-old woman was walking home after having drinks with friends in OConnell St when she was attacked on Gover St just after midnight.

Police say the DNA profile of the offender does not match any match profiles on the National Criminal Investigation DNA Data Base, meaning the offender is unlikely to have a significant criminal history and could be a first time offender.

The suspect is described as aged in his 30s, about 175cm tall, with an olive complexion, shaved head and a calm, husky voice.

Posters depicting an image of the suspect have been distributed to businesses around North Adelaide.

We urge members of the public to take note of them and to read, have a look and to see if you recognise this person, Detective Acting Sergeant Matthew Lyon said.

Police said they have been reviewing CCTV footage and talking to local businesses as part of their ongoing enquiries.

They do not believe the attack is linked to others around North Adelaide, but have warned women to avoid walking alone at night and to stick to well-lit main roads.
