FOUR teenage boys have been arrested in connection with a ‘serious sexual assault’ in Blackburn town centre yesterday.

A 15-year-old, a 16-year-old and two 17-year-old boys, all from Blackburn, were arrested after a 19-year-old woman was allegedly sexually assaulted in the car park at the rear of the Stage Door pub, at the corner of St Peter’s Street and Mincing Lane, Blackburn.

The victim was attacked around 1am yesterday, police said.

Following the alleged attack she immediately contacted police who closed off the area.

Police community support officers were yesterday standing guard at the crime scene. Since the incident detectives have been holding video recorded interviews with the victim to discover the extent of the attack. Det Sgt Mark Saunders, of Blackburn CID, said: “Four individuals have been arrested and taken into custody in relation to this incident.

“Our investigation is still ongoing but at this stage we are not looking for anyone else. Specially trained officers now are working closely with the victim to ensure she receives all the help she needs.”

Anyone with information about the attack can contact police on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

What difference does their background make ? Are you suggesting that the crime is more serious if committed by someone who is not white or English ?

Poor girl, hope she is ok and strong enough to not let this ruin her life. Also hope that the culprits experience pain beyond that possible in any single post and every second they remain on this earth is just as miserable.

If it was Asians the headline would say female groomed for sex. The headline says "serious sex assault" so it must be white lads.

Why do some people hate the fact that people make assumptions based on life experiences? We all do it, yet when it involces race people take particular offence, and u know who u r u morons.

You have a point.. for this one though i've created an image in my mind that they are from either Shad or Mill Hill.. probably well known to the police and social services from the day they were born (subsequently to be published in the follow up LET story)... never attended school and have a drink and drug problem that has festered for some time, until a massive sesh took them to new depths of depravity.. the tell tale signs were there but society couldn't intervene until it ruined another innocent life. I'd just give the useless little **** the lethal injection.

Whatever colour they are or background they come from, if found guilty they should be jailed and taken off out streets. Scum.
