A teenager was sexually assaulted in the toilets of a Watford nightclub.

Police investigating the allegation are appealing for witnesses and information.

An 18-year-old woman reported she was assaulted inside a toilet cubicle on the top floor of Oceana at around 3am on Sunday, November 8.

PC Kate Rickard, from Hertfordshire Constabulary’s Sexual Offences Investigation Team, said: “It is believed that a man was spoken to outside the toilets by another female shortly before the offence took place.

"I am keen to trace this woman as soon as possible as she may have vital information which could assist our enquiries.

“I would also like to hear from anyone else who may have seen a man acting suspiciously around the toilets on the same evening.

“I understand incidents of this nature will cause concern and I would like to reassure people we are doing all we can to trace the person responsible. We are providing support to the victim and full enquiries are being carried out.”

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Sexual Offences Investigation Team via the non-emergency number 101.
