Attacker sat on 18-year-old's legs and asked for sex before raping her in Aylesbury park say police

An 18-year-old woman was raped in a park in Aylesbury on June 9.

The woman was attacked between 8.40pm and 10.30pm at the Haydon Hill play area in Rembrandt End.

Thames Valley Police has opened a rape investigation and is calling on witnesses to come forward if they have information relating to this attack.

The incident was reported to the police last Thursday (June 17).

The victim was sitting with the offender, whom she knows, close to the main path that runs through the park.

The offender then sat on the victim’s legs so she was unable to move and asked her if he could have sex with her. When she refused he proceeded to rape her.

The offender is a white man, about five foot nine inches tall with very short dark hair.
