“I would like to reassure the public that we take all reports of sexual assault seriously. We are committed to supporting victims and investigating those responsible and bringing them to justice.
“We would encourage anyone who has been a victim of this type of crime to come forward. If you wish to report a violent or sexual crime then you can do so by contacting Police Scotland on 101 or contact the charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.”
