Acting Sergeant Rob Engels said that at about 2pm, a 14-year-old female accepted a lift from an unknown male at the intersection of Kirkpatrick Street and the Victoria Highway.
“From there, she was driven to an area on the Katherine River known as Flat Rock, where the alleged sexual assault took place,” he said.
“The offender is described as having a New Zealand accent, of solid build with black hair.
“He has a tribal-style tattoo on his upper arm and a smaller tattoo on one of his wrists.”
The alleged offender was driving a black vehicle with a rear spoiler.
