Two 14-year-old girls were raped and sexually assaulted in an Oxford park on 28 July, police say.

Two 14-year-old girls were raped and sexually assaulted in a secluded wooded area of Marsh Park in Oxford on 28 July between 5.15pm and 6pm. The victims met four unknown males in Florence Park and then went to Marsh Park with two of them. One girl was raped by one of the males and the other was sexually assaulted by another. After the offences, both girls left the park and contacted police.

A 20-year-old man from Oxford was arrested on suspicion of rape and sexual assault. He has been released on police bail with conditions until 14 January 2027. A boy was also arrested in connection with the investigation but was later released without charge after police established he was not involved.

Thames Valley Police released CCTV footage on 16 October in connection with the investigation. Detective Constable Sarah Tibble of the Child Abuse Investigation Unit said the force was seeking a male who may have vital information to progress the investigation.
