Appeal: Sexual Assault, Heaton Road, Huddersfield.

Tuesday 9 October, 2012.

Huddersfield CID are appealing for witnesses after a woman was sexually assaulted on the 14 August.

At around 5:30pm the 45-year old victim was walking her dog in woods in the Heaton Road and Gledholt Bank area when she passed three men drinking and smoking in the woods.

One of the men approached the victim and put his arms around her saying he liked her.  The victim carried on her way but had to bend down to tend to her dog. She was then sexually assaulted by the suspect when he felt the woman's buttocks.

The victim stood up to the suspect, who then walked away.

He was described as black, around 5'11" tall and of skinny build with an African accent. He was wearing dark coloured shorts, a dar t-shirt and a blue or grey woolly hat.

Any witnesses, or anyone with information is asked to contact DC Annette Lane at Huddersfield CID on 01484 436558.
