THIS surprising footage exhibits the second a person climbed by means of an eight-year-old lady's bed room window earlier than allegedly assaulting her.
Police say the child was asleep when the man, believed to be in his 50s, climbed onto her bed at a home in Barker Street, Kingsford, in the city's east, in the early hours of Monday.
After the man made his escape, the girl told her mother what had happened, and she immediately called the police.
"This is a very rare but obviously a very serious matter", she said.
The family are extremely distressed and we are working with the family to ensure that they are well supported and the welfare and of our young victims and the family is of paramount importance.
Two minutes later, he can be seen climbing back out, carefully closing the window behind him before fleeing.
Detectives from Eastern Beaches Police Area Command have taken a statement from the girl, who described the man as having an Australian or English accent and wearing a dark hooded jumper.
A large-scale police operation is underway to find the man.
Anyone with CCTV or dash-cam footage of the area in the past two weeks is urged to hand it into police.
