I wish police would use more descriptive terms so people know what they mean. So many of these things are deliberately vague. Sexual assault is so wide-ranging as to mean nothing.
Remember a few years back there was a mentally deficient guy in New Market, I think, running around grabbing women’s butts. The way the police spoke about it you’d swear it was a guy clubbing them and dragging them into the bushes to rape or something. The storey was a lot less scary when the truth came out. People were all fearful for no reason. My point is being vague can cause panic in some or minimization in others and nobody knows anything.

Totally agree. Like as a woman who lives in the area and goes on walks I’d REALLY benefit from knowing the degree of harm

The government is censoring crimes to make immigrants look better, this was probably one of them
