Aged 14
I normally went to the skate park with a group of friends, but this time all my friends wanted to stay in but I wanted to skate. I got the bus to the skate park and had a nice skate for 15 minutes, until an older male started to follow me around the skate park. He started by asking me my name, where I live, where I go to school, asking for my phone number, he tried to grab my legs and touch my bum. I felt so intimidated especially as I thought he must’ve been in his late 20s or 30s due to his height, build and facial hair. I eventually gave up and went to get the bus home, he followed me to the bus stop, put his arm across the door to stop me getting on and said: “You can’t leave before you give me your number”. I gave him a fake number and was too scared to go back to the skate park in case I ever saw him again.
