A teenage girl currently in Victoria as an exchange student was sexually assaulted by two men in Topaz Park earlier this week, according to police.
The girl was walking through Topaz Park the morning of Tuesday, Dec. 6, when two men who had a “dishevelled” appearance suddenly blocked her path near the field house and washrooms in the Finlayson and Glasgow area.
The men then proceeded to sexually assault the young girl, but she escaped and ran to a safe place where she told an adult about what happened.
The men are both described as approx. 60 years old, w dark coloured clothes, large dark coloured backpacks & a "disheveled" appearance. If you have surveillance footage or were in the area & saw something, call (250) 995-7654 ext 1. More info: https://t.co/MpbQNwYGzn #yyj

This girl was a teenage International student. Imagine going to an unknown country without your parents, going to a park, where two men block your path and sexually assault you. This is horrifying. https://t.co/DbWhClVsRI
