Police hunt man with ‘distinctive angel tattoo’ after teenage girl sexually assaulted at music festival
POLICE are hunting a man with a distinctive angel tattoo after a teenage girl was sexually assaulted at a music festival.
The assault took place on Friday August 2 earlier this year at the Y Not festival, in Derbyshire between 8.30pm and 10pm.
It unfolded in front of a red double decker bus selling fudge near the main stage during The Kooks set.
The attacker has been described as standing over six-feet tall, and spoke with a Liverpudlian accent.
He had dark hair, a short beard and was heavily tattooed, with a distinctive inking of an angel on his shoulder.
Cops confirmed he was wearing a pair of colourful patterned shorts, a top and black Nike trainers.
Derbyshire Constabulary are also looking to speak to a woman in her 40s who helped the victim away from the scene.
She has been described as having a Nottinghamshire or Derbyshire accent.
The potential witness also had shoulder-length dark hair with a fringe.
She was donning circular sunglasses and a short black dress.
