Appeal after girl assaulted in Gosport

We are appealing for witnesses after a teenage girl was assaulted on Henry Court Way, Gosport, on Monday (25 September).

The victim was waiting at the Gregson Avenue bus stop at around 8.30am when an unknown man spoke to her before putting his hand on her shoulder and touching her face.

The man is described as being white, between 30 and 40-years-old, with dark hair and stubble. He was wearing a black hoody and jeans.

We have conducted a number of enquiries and are now turning to the public for any information that may assist our investigation.

Were you at the bus stop at the time? Perhaps you have footage of the incident?

We are particularly keen to hear from a woman who stepped in to assist the girl, as she may hold valuable evidence.

Anyone with information is asked to call 101 with reference 44230390923, or submit information online via: https://www.hampshire.police.uk/tua/tell-us-about/cor/tell-us-about-existing-case-report/
