Girl left naked on street after attack

POLICE investigating reports that a six-year-old British girl was abducted from her bath, sexually assaulted then dumped naked in a nearby street yesterday said her paedophile attacker was “extremely dangerous”.

The child said she was taken from her Tyneside home and dumped in a cold back lane on Tuesday night, as little as 15 minutes later.

Northumbria Police Detective Chief Inspector Jim Napier said: “From her account, somebody has been brazen enough to enter her house, take her away undressed and then assaulted her in a manner which is clearly sexually motivated, and then leave her in this lane, in the dark, on her own. I consider that individual to be extremely dangerous and that is why I am keen to trace that individual and arrest him.”
