Epsom Rape Protest: Police Seek Witnesses

0:00On April 16th, a woman in her 20s was raped outside Epsom Methodist Church in Surrey after leaving a nightclub on Saturday morning. Protesters took to Epsom High Street on Wednesday evening, demanding police release descriptions of the suspects since officials had only issued. Vague statements up to that point. Raya police rode out and forced, with dozens of officers on scene, to handle the growing crowd that blocked roads and reportedly hurled objects there. This came after Surrey police said they lacked enough details to share suspect info publicly. Locals and protesters showed real anger over the attack, sparking disruption in the town center. Epsom's MP called the incident appalling, while the church plans a community gathering Thursday to support vulnerable women and victims. Chief Superintendent Mark Chathman stressed they back peaceful protests, but draw a hard line on disorder, prioritizing public safety for everyone. Involved, police are still hunting for witnesses, especially anyone who spotted a woman in distress on Ashley Road between 2 a.m. and 4 a.m. that Saturday step, up if you know something to help nail these guys.
