I would like to recognise the victim’s bravery who has supported this investigation throughout. Early police action to secure forensics and CCTV was key in bringing these evil men to justice.”
Detective Constable Ben Wallen, lead investigator: “The result would not have been possible without the quick response of officers and the Serious Sexual Offences team’s support. I hope this reassures victims that police are committed to catching those responsible and ensuring they face the courts.”
