Appeal to trace potential witness to 1990s sexual assaults
Police are hoping a woman, who was a child at the time, can help with inquiries
Police are trying to trace a woman who may be a vital witness to sexual assaults on a young girl in Plymouth in the 1990s.
The incidents are reported to have happened between 1990 and 1994 at a residential address in Plymouth.
The female witness would have been aged between 4 and 10 and had brown hair which was shoulder length or longer.
She would now be aged between mid-30s and mid-40s and was possibly called Kim, Kimberley or similar.
It is understood that both were pupils at Hyde Park Infants’ School or Hyde Park Juniors’ School at the time.
Police Constable Nicola Saunter said: “These reported incidents occurred out of sight at a private address in the early 1990s.
“The potential female witness is believed to have spoken with the victim about the incidents around the time and may have information which could assist our enquiries.
“The witness and the victim attended the same school, albeit in different academic years but we would like to be clear that the incidents we are investigating are in no way linked to the school.
“We appreciate that it has been a long time since the incidents took place, but we are hoping that this individual recognises themselves from the description, and we would ask that they get in touch.”
Information can be reported to police on 101 or on the Devon and Cornwall Police website, quoting reference 50001199585.
