Discovery of video footage has led police investigating an indecent exposure to issue a witness call today (Tuesday).
Officers are appealing for dog walkers and members of the public in the Tadcaster area to come forward.
They particularly want to trace women and girls who have walked their dog along Tadcaster riverbank, between Tadcaster Bridge and Tadcaster viaduct, at any point in July.
Tadcaster Viaduct
A North Yorkshire Police spokesperson said: “The appeal follows the discovery of video footage as part of a separate investigation that suggests a potential victim of indecent exposure may not have been aware of what happened and has not reported it to the police.
“It is really important that we trace the victim and any other witnesses who may be able to assist our investigation.
“If you have used the footpath in the past two months or if you have witnessed indecent exposure or sexual acts, but have not reported them to the police, please come forward as soon as possible.”
A man has been arrested in connection with the incident and remains under investigation. He is due to appear in court in relation to other matters.
