Cops added that although a previous appeal had mentioned the assault happened near Mount Pleasant Close, they now believe the girl was assaulted in a wooded area close to the Chambers estate and Charlton Brook.
Investigating officer Wendy Howe said: “We continue to work with the victim and her family to identify the person responsible for this serious offence.
"We know that the incident has caused concern locally and would ask anyone with information about this matter to come forward, especially if you recognise the individual pictured.
“As I’m sure you will understand, this type of offence is highly traumatic and sometimes this means we get new information and new lines of enquiry as the victim is able to process what has happened.
