Girl, 16, suffers sex ordeal
A 16-year-old girl is recovering after being snatched off the street in Hull and subjected to a three-hour indecent assault.

The girl was walking along Lonsdale Street close to the junction of Anlaby Road around 1820 BST on Wednesday when she was approached by a man.

She was then pulled into a car which was driven off at high speed.

Humberside Police say the girl told them she was driven to the south Boulevard area of the city and subjected to a sexual assault which lasted three hours.

The alleged attacker told the girl she would not get away because he was a rugby player.

He then drove the teenager to her home address, despite the girl saying she had never seen him before.

Hip-hop music

She suffered bruising to her neck and had red marks on both arms.

The driver left the girl around 2120 BST, say police.

Police are now looking for the vehicle, a royal blue small hatchback car which had a recorded hip-hop classic album playing in the cassette.

The man is described as white, 16 or 17 years old with a muscular build, but podgy stomach and a "piggy" nose.
