On Tuesday 8th July a 14 year old girl was sexually assaulted on her way home from the school that she attends in Epping

Police have since charged a 38-year-old man with three counts of sexual assault, one count of inciting a girl to engage in sexual activity, and one count of harassment without violence as part of an investigation into reports of a person acting inappropriately in High Road, Epping, at 5.20pm on Tuesday 8 July.

I am a friend of the young girls father and need to help.

As a father myself this incident has made me feel sick and emotional.

The 14 year old girl is now too frightened to go out.

As a community we need to come together to support this young girl and her family

I have set up this page with the intention of raising money so that the young girl can have some trauma counselling to help deal with whats happend.

It would be great if we could raise enough to send her away on a little break with her family somewhere quiet.

Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to read this and support this young girl at such a traumatic time

My thoughts are with the young girl and her family 💔
