"Information has come to light that two of the females were possibly sexually assaulted.

"We have no further information as to who these children are and up to now nobody has come forward with a complaint of assault.

"If anybody was in the vicinity at the time and saw anything regarding either the assaults and/or the exposure could you please get in touch?

"We would also ask any of the children who were present to get in touch or confide in their parents so this male can be dealt with."
