Detectives investigate teenage sexual assault at popular London landmark

Detectives are appealing for witnesses after a teenager was sexually assaulted on Parliament Hill in north London.

An investigation was launched after police received a report that a 15-year-old girl had been sexually assaulted by a man near to the Parliament Hill Viewpoint at approximately 1045pm on Saturday June 3.

The man is described as aged in his late teens, around 5ft 8ins tall, with short brown hair. He was wearing a blue t-shirt and jeans.

Detective Sergeant Sam Lockstone, from the local policing team in Camden, said:“We have carried out a number of enquiries, including a trawl for CCTV and a forensic examination of the scene.

“We believe there were a large number of teenagers on Parliament Hill at the time of the assault and it is thought the victim and suspect were part of different friendship groups.

“I am asking for anyone who witnessed suspicious activity, or has information about the incident, to contact us immediately. I would also encourage parents of children who were in the area last night to ask them if they can assist the investigation.”

Parliament Hill is in Hampstead Heath and is a popular gathering sport for its views of the capital’s skyline.

Anyone with information is asked to call 101 quoting CAD 7852/03Jun.
