Hampshire Constabulary released an e-fit of a man it wanted to identify following the attack

A man has been arrested after a 16-year-old girl was raped in an alleyway, police have said.

The teenager was walking along the passageway behind Gosport High Street, between 17:00 and 18:00 BST, on 19 November last year when she was attacked by a man she did not know.

A 42-year-old man from Gosport, Hampshire, was arrested on Monday on suspicion of rape.

Police said he had since been released while inquiries continue.

Following the attack, Hampshire Constabulary released an e-fit image of a man they wanted to identify.

He was described as white, aged 45 to 50, 5ft 11ins tall, of large build and with long grey and brown hair.
