Police in Derbyshire are appealing for the public’s help to identify a man after a report of a girl being sexually assaulted at the Y Not festival earlier this year.
Y Not Festival 2024 is an event held from August 2, 2024 to August 4, 2024 in Pikehall, Derbyshire, United Kingdom.
The incident occurred on Friday, 2 August, in front of a red double-decker bus selling fudge near the main stage during The Kooks’ set between 8.30 pm and 10 pm.
The incident saw a teenage girl sexually assaulted by a man who was described as having a Liverpudlian accent and was more than 6 ft tall. He had dark hair, which was short on the sides but fluffy on top, a short beard, and tattoos all over his body, hands, arms, and neck – including a distinctive angel tattoo on his shoulder area. He was wearing colourful patterned shorts, a t-shirt, and black Nike shoes.
Officers are also keen to speak to a woman who spoke with the victim at the time of the incident and helped lead her away from the area but then left without leaving her details. Officers urgently need to speak with her as a potential witness to the incident.
The woman is described as being in her 40s with a Derbyshire or Nottinghamshire accent. She had shoulder-length dark hair with a fringe and was wearing circular sunglasses and a black blouse/dress that reached to her lower thighs.
If you are the woman described, recognise her description, or have any information about the incident that could assist officers, please contact Derbyshire Police on 101 reference 24*459990.
