CRIMESTOPPERS is offering a reward of up to £5,000 for information on the sexual assault of a woman in Salisbury.
Just after midnight on Sunday, May 19, 2019, the woman, in her 30s, was sexually assaulted by a man not known to her in Hudson’s Field, Castle Road.
A travelling circus was at Hudson’s Field at the time, but the offender is not believed to be a member of the circus.
An investigation into this crime has continued over the past 12 months.
The man is described as being white, in his early 20s, approximately 5ft 10 to 6ft tall, with a skinny build.
His hair was sandy blonde and short and he had no facial hair. He was wearing a light maroon coloured hoodie.
Crimestoppers charity is offering a reward of up to £5,000 for information the charity exclusively receives – either online at crimestoppers-uk.org or via freephone 0800 555 111 - that leads to the arrest and conviction of the person responsible for this sexual assault.
Emily Van der Lely, Gloucestershire & Wiltshire Regional Manager at the charity Crimestoppers, said: “This is a despicable, horrific crime and we hope that our reward encourages anybody on this one-year anniversary to come forward to tell us what they know about it.
"Our charity believes that everyone has the right to walk the streets safely without experiencing harm. We don’t want anybody else to be assaulted by this individual.
“If you have any suspicions at all about who may be responsible for this crime, or if you witnessed something, perhaps you visited the travelling circus at the time, please do the right thing and get in touch with our charity.
"Nobody will ever know you contacted us, only you. Crimestoppers has been taking crime information for over 32 years, since our charity began. We have always kept our promise of 100% anonymity to the millions of people who have trusted us.
“Every day over a thousand people contact us. You can speak to us anonymously by calling our UK Contact Centre which is open 24/7 on 0800 555 111 or you can use our simple and secure anonymous online form at www.crimestoppers-uk.org.”
Information passed directly to police will not qualify for the reward. The reward will only qualify for information passed to Crimestoppers’ via the untraceable anonymous online form at www.crimestoppers-uk.org or by calling our 0800 555 111 number .
