I can\u2019t believe it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve been living here for 40 years now and nothing like this has ever happened.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At 8am on Wednesday morning, a 13-year-old girl was walking on the busy stretch of road between Mount Pleasant Close and Lound Side when she was approached by an unknown man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The man then proceeded to offer her a free bottle of the popular energy drink Prime before sexually assaulting her. However, she was able to run away and call for help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some locals have blamed the attack on an absence of policing in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mr Griffin of Backfield Rise added: \u201cIt\u2019s a shocking incident and I think one of the main reasons for it is that there are never enough police around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere used to be a community policeman who was there and visible on the streets, he went into schools and all the children knew him but when he retired, they never replaced him.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, that view isn\u2019t shared across the community with Liberal Democrat Councillor Alan Woodcock who represents East Ecclesfield, a ward covering Chapeltown, disagreeing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI feel extremely upset for the girl and her family. I hope that she is getting the help that she needs.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere isn\u2019t a lack of policing though. When I was a younger lad 60 years ago, you saw a policeman on the end of every street. Those days have disappeared and will never come back, but the team that we have here are excellent. I don\u2019t want to get into lack of funding or anything like that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The police have since arrested a 28-year-old man from Rotherham on Sunday 19 February in relation to the assault. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Insp Alec Gibbons said: &#8220;This was a very distressing incident for the young victim, and we are doing all we can to identify the offender.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe young girl&#8217;s courage in running away and calling for help is commendable, and we are working closely with her and her family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He added there will also be patrols throughout the rest of the school week to provide reassurance to both parents and children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have any information that can help the police, please call 101 and quote the incident number 176 of 8 February when you get in touch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A quiet, suburban area of Sheffield has been rocked by the \u2018shocking\u2019 news of a teenager being sexually assaulted as she walked along a main road. &nbsp; Wishing to remain anonymous, a Mount Pleasant Close resident who lives just metres from where the attack happened told us: \u201cIt\u2019s disgusting frankly.
