Police Launch Appeal Over Rape At Latitude Festival 2010

Police investigating one of two rapes at last weekend's Latitude festival have appealed for help from festival-goers.

A 19-year-old woman was attacked by at least one man after she became lost on the campsite on Thursday night (July 15).

Police have asked for anyone who may have seen the victim between 10pm and 10.30pm to come forward.

She was wearing denim jeggings, a yellow and white check shirt, a black cardigan and Wellington boots, reports BBC News.

Det Ch Insp David Cutler said police were keen to speak to a man “described as being of muscular build with a shaved head”.

As previously reported on Gigwise, in a separate incident another woman claimed she was raped on site on Friday night (July 19).

A 19-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the alleged attack.

Organiser Melvin Benn has said he was left “distraught” after hearing that two women had allegedly been raped at the festival.
