Police have released information and are are appealing for witnesses after a woman was sexually assaulted in Cheadle in the week before Xmas.
Shortly before 11pm on Thursday 15 December 2016 a woman had left a pub with a man and was walking on a grassed area just off Stockport Road with him, when he asked her to go to a hotel with him. The woman refused and the man punched her in the face, before throwing her to the ground. He picked her up and they carried on walking for a short time, before he sexually assaulted her and then fled in the direction of Parrs Wood.
The woman went over to a group of youths who were sat on a nearby bench and police are keen to speak to them as potential witnesses.
Police are appealing for anyone who witnessed the sexual assault to get in contact.
Detective Constable Jeanette Lamb of GMP’s Stockport Borough said: “Specially-trained officer have been offering the woman support in what has been a distressing time for her. Help and support will always be there for people who want to come forward and report sexual offences.
