In the evening of 10 May 2025, a 15-year-old girl was separated from her friends in Leamington Spa's Newbold Comyn parkland and subjected to a serious sexual assault by two teenage Afghan asylum seekers.
Footage captured on the victim's phone captured her pleas during the incident. The distressing video was described by prosecutors as crucial in demonstrating the deliberate actions of the attackers. The case has raised questions about the UK's asylum system and child protection safeguards.
