11:54am Tuesday 13th May 2008

comment Comments (7)   Have your say »


A 17-YEAR-old girl was subjected to a serious sexual assault in a Colne street after leaving a nightclub.

The girl had befriended a man outside Zebras, in Keighley Road, shortly after 4am on Sunday, police said.

The pair began walking home but the man then sexually assaulted the girl and made threatening comments in Roberts Street.

The attacker is described as being white with olive skin, in his late 20s or early 30s, 6ft tall, of muscular build but with a slight beer belly. He possibly had an Italian accent.

He had short, dark, spiky hair and was wearing a white t-shirt and dark jeans.

Anyone with information should contact Det Insp Derek Jones, from Nelson CID, on 01282 472618 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.

I feel for the girl but nightclubs at 4am are not where my daughter will be at 17 years old.

Unfortunatley it is the way young people are nowadays.Girls i mean going to nightclubs also when your daughters get to 17 they do not always tell you where they are going well not the honest truth.
My daughter is now 23 and i feel she is a responsible young women she was going to nightclubs at 17 as well but telling me she was staying at her friends. She was staying there however the girls mum thought they were staying at another freinds so it is a vicious circle.
Girls also can and do get attacked at any age so it doesnt make any difference that she was 17.The fact is the dirty pervert should have kept his hands and other parts to himself.
Hope he gets caught soon, and other than lock your children in the house there isnt a lot you can do at this age.Come back on here when your daughters turn 17 and tell us then.

I agree lydia,I remember what i was like at that age!.Stop focusing on her age and the time she was out ETC.Would there be negative comments if it had happened to an older woman?,I think not.Im sure she feels bad enough with out people thinking she had it coming.Blame the pervert who attacked her and pray he is caught before he does it again.

i feel that we should be more critical of the perverts on the prowl rather than debating whether or not the young lady was mature enough on the night in question. i feel that such depraved perverts would find anyone, any age to carry out their sick attacks, give the girl a break, its not her or her parents fault, blame lies soley with the animal.

How 'Serious' does a 'Sex Attack' have to be? A sex attack is a sex attack, right? Once caught (if caught,Police far too busy catching speedsters)this pathetic excuse for a human,wants castrating,without anesthetic!!
