Police Constable Nicole Houghton from Hampshire Constabulary’s Amberstone Unit commented, “We would like to commend the women who have shown incredible bravery and courage in coming forward.
These are extremely difficult times for these women, and it would not have been easy, both emotionally and physically, for either of them to have to re-live their ordeals from when they were younger.” She added, “We know how hard it is to come forward and report these offences, but it is vital to bring those responsible to justice.
We are committed to supporting victims through the process with specially trained officers.
We encourage anyone who has been a victim of child sexual abuse to contact police on 101, where they can speak with our specialist detectives confidentially.”
