A twisted semen sprayer who smeared ejaculate on Bury schoolgirls is still being hunted by police who have released new images today.
Detectives chasing the man – who put semen on two teenage girls’ clothing – have now recovered a full DNA sample and released images of someone they wish to speak to.
The first incident took place on Kennedy Drive, Unsworth, at about 4.30pm on Friday January 11 and the latest was on Harris Drive in Unsworth at about 8.15am on Tuesday February 5.
Police believe the incidents are related to four more which took place between Friday November 13 2009 and Monday January 25 2010 in Unsworth, Whitefield, Bury town centre and Prestwich where teenage girls were also approached by a man and later discovered a sticky white substance on their skirts or tights.
They have now released CCTV image of a man recovered during the initial investigation as well as an artist’s impression of the distinctive jacket he was wearing in the recent incidents.
Detective Chief Inspector Sara Wallwork said: “These are unusual crimes and quite frankly disgusting, due to the actions of the offender.
“This man has deliberately smeared semen onto schoolgirl’s clothing and we are determined to find the person responsible.
“Distinctive jackets have been worn by the offender on separate occasions.”

Detectives have examined the full DNA profile of the offender, however there are no matches on the national database.
The victims have provided descriptions of the suspect, which is a white man aged between 20 and 40 years old and between 5ft 9in and 5ft 10in tall.
Following the first spate of unusual attacks three years ago, it was thought the substance was animal ejaculate, and the police are still unsure.
The most recent incidents definitely contained human semen but detectives are still linking the cases.
Detective Chief Inspector Wallwork added: “In 2009/2010 he had a black jacket with the number ’74’ in white on the left sleeve and more recently has a distinctive jacket with a green, red and grey chequered pattern on the front.
“I want to appeal to potential family members, girlfriends and friends to look closely at the images of the man and the jackets. I am confident someone will know or recognise him and/or his jackets.
“I encourage people to talk to us and provide us with names and I want to reassure them and everyone else that we now have a full DNA profile so can quickly eliminate people from our enquiry.”
Anyone with information is asked to call Bury CID on 0161 856 8152 or the independent charity Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
