Aged 15
I was walking through the park to meet with some friends at Salisbury Woodlands at around 5pm; it was golden hour so there was still plenty of daylight but the park was quiet. An older man (maybe mid-30s) was walking towards the main gate in the opposite direction to me and on the other side of the road. He saw me, crossed the road, then turned in the opposite direction to follow me. He asked for the time at first, then he was asking if I’d just finished work. I told him I was still in school and on my way to meet my boyfriend, but it didn’t deter him. He continued to follow me and kept asking me questions about myself and commenting on my outfit. I ended up having to tell him I was in a hurry and ran away from him as soon as I got the opportunity.
