Witness appeal following sexual assault in Farnham

We’re appealing for witnesses after a 17-year-old girl was sexually assaulted in Farnham last Wednesday (23 February).

The girl was walking along The Borelli Walk, alongside the River Wey, when she was approached by a group of three or four boys at around 5.30pm.

One of the boys exposed himself before sexually assaulting her. The girl managed to get away and continue walking.

The boy is described as Asian, aged 17 to 18 years old, around 5ft 9 in height with shortish black hair. He was wearing a light coloured, quilted puffer-style jacket and black tracksuit bottoms.

Police Constable Davina Smith said: “This type of behaviour is completely unacceptable and absolutely will not be tolerated. We urge anyone who may have seen the suspects or know who they are to contact us straightaway. We must hold these suspects to account for their inexcusable behaviour.”
