What has happened in the village today. 2 police support crew ladies walking around and the bank ally way next to the Green Dragon cordoned off with police tape

Not sure but we had a patrol car up on Hewshott Lane at 5am which is unusual.

Not sure but saw a number of police guarding what appeared to be a crime scene in between the Green Dragon and the old HSBC Bank at 6am

I live close by and so I understand there was some sort of sexual assault in the area down the alley way behind the green dragon at around 2 a.m early hours of Tuesday morning , don't know anymore than that at the moment

Other than the nosy saucy novel gossip, why do sexual assaults seem to get so much more public / police attention than other nasty crimes like theft, burglary, vandalism and physical assaults?

Probably because they're sexual assault? It's horrendous of course it will get alot of attention..

Lips, you should expect the backlash from your insensitive, ridiculous comment. Once again have the guts to show your real name and stop hiding behind the keyboard. You clearly don't know anyone who has been a victim of sexual assault. It is a vile crime.

Hi Lips sexual assault is also a physical assault, it can end up with the victim being badly beaten as well as sexually assaulted. I would think that if you are a woman you would understand. Also even if it is deemed as minor, the perpetrator may go on to attack other women if it is not percieved as real "crime".

This is very worrying. Remember the thread about the man following young girls! Yesterday (Wed) my daughter was followed by this man AGAIN! Thankfully this time she was feeling quite strong, so she stopped, turned to face him and told him to go away and leave her alone, in no uncertain terms! Thankfully he ran off.
I do not know if there is any connection to what happened in the alleyway, but I think maybe it is time to talk to the police, especially as several young girls in the village were also followed by this man!
I truly hope the victim of the sexual assault is being looked after with lots of love and support to help him/her through this horrible time.

Thanks Helen
Your reply makes sense.
I never suggested sexual assault is any less of a crime. All assault types are vile crimes and should be treated as severely.
For all those who still think my real name is so important for this issue: you're just trying to reduce any argument to a personal tiff on a gossip level - boring.

A lot of comments all based on rumour.
Has anyone been able to confirm there was an assault or is this the usual 2+2=5?

Did we ever know what actually happened that night in our village?
