Deptford: Girl, 15, raped by three boys in Pepys Park

Police are appealing for witnesses and information following the incident, which took place in Pepys Park on March 22.

The victim got off a bus at around 4.30pm and walked towards the park, where she sat on a bench near the football cages.

A boy (boy one) approached her, followed by two others (boy two and three), who stole her phone and ran off.

The victim and boy one then followed the other two to another part of the park, where all three pinned down and raped the girl.

Boy one is described as black, aged approximately 16/17, with no facial hair.

He was wearing a blue beanie, a black ‘Kings Will Dream’ coat with fur around the hood and black and grey trainers. He also has silver caps on two of his teeth.

Boy two is described as a lighter skinned black boy, age approximately 16/17, with two earrings, one stud in each ear lobe.

He had a high-top hairstyle with slight stubble. He was wearing a black Zavetti, knee-length coat with a yellow and red brand mark on the sleeve.

Boy three is described as a lighter skinned black boy, age approximately 16/17, wearing a du-rag. He had a black coat and black tracksuit bottoms on.

There have been no arrests and enquires are ongoing.

Detective Constable Daniel Weeks, who is leading the investigation, said: “We are doing our utmost to provide the victim with support from specially trained officers following this horrific incident.

“I am asking members of the public who were in the park that day to think carefully about whether you saw the males described.

“Did you see anyone acting suspiciously?

"What were they doing and where did they go?

"No matter how small or insignificant you think your information might be, it could be hugely significant for our investigation.”
