Police searching for 13 people after woman in her 60s is sexually assaulted while walking her dog

Detectives want to speak to 13 people seen on CCTV near to the scene where a dog walker was sexually assaulted in Tameside. Officers have been hunting the 'abhorrent individual' responsible for the attack against the victim, a woman in her 60s, since last week.

Greater Manchester Police says the victim reported being approached by a man in his 20s, who was of slender build and around 5ft 11ins tall. She was reportedly sexually assaulted while walking her dog in the field near Smallshaw Lane, in Ashton-under-Lyne.

GMP is today (January 13) renewing its appeal for any witnesses to come forward. Door-to-door enquiries have been carried out in the area following the incident, which took place at around 4.30pm on January 2, with at least 100 households spoken to by officers.
