Rape

Aged 19, 2003 I got a taxi home from a night out with friends – I was the last one in the cab. I was very drunk and was struggling to open my front door. A man – I’m unsure if it was the taxi driver or a neighbour – came behind me and turned the key to help me in. He then pushed me...

Aged 57, 2025 I got off the bus, around 9am on a Saturday morning, and walked towards Lord Street to go to the shop. A man who was coming out of a side street initially going the opposite way to me, turned round and started walking behind me. As I went to cross the road he did too, so I...

Harassment

Indecent Exposure

Aged 16/17, 2014 When I was younger I was sat outside in town on a bench. The town centre was filled with young farmers. I didn’t know what was happening so me and my friend were sat watching. It turned awful very quickly. We noticed almost a lot of the younger people kept approaching us...

Harassed

Aged 36 and 14, May 2025

Whilst walking through town with my young daughter we were harassed and catcalled several different times by young farmers. We weren’t aware it was farmers weekend as I thought this had been banned years ago.
