A 17-year-old girl was raped by two men in a tent at a music festival.
The incident happened on the evening of 13 August 2022 at the Boardmasters Festival in Newquay, Cornwall.
Devon and Cornwall Police have issued an e-fit image of one of the men as part of an appeal for information.
Detectives said the man is described as white, with a tan and a South African accent. They have also released a description of the second man they would like to trace.
The first man is thought to have been aged between 17 and 23 at the time of the incident, between 5ft 8in and 6ft tall, of muscular build, with blond/brown hair, a 'slanted' nose and clean shaven.
He was wearing a green necklace and a leather necklace bearing a tooth.
Police are asking anyone with information to contact them.
The second man is described as a white male with tanned skin, aged around 19, approximately 6ft 3in tall, of slim build and with upper lip hair.
He had an English accent and was wearing a gold ring on his left hand and a gold signet ring on the other hand.
Det Insp Dan McKenzie urged people to "share any information, however small, as this could be vital to our investigation".
"Were you at Boardmasters in 2022 and did you see or speak with the men matching these descriptions?" he added.
"We would ask anyone who may have seen anything suspicious at the festival at the time of the incident to get in touch."
