Redcar woman raped in front of toddler in middle of day
A woman was raped in front of her young child in the middle of the day.
The woman, aged in her 30s, and her toddler were forced into a car by two men near Redcar seafront, Teesside, at lunchtime on Friday.
They were taken about four miles to Longbeck Lane, near Yearby, where the woman was raped. They were made to get out of the car six hours later in another area of Redcar.
Police are investigating whether the attackers knew the victim.
Temporary Det Ch Insp Matt Murphy-King said it had been a "very traumatic ordeal for the victim and her child".
'Distressed state'
"Although we are investigating that the attackers may have known the victim, as a precaution I would encourage anyone in the local area to be extra vigilant," he said.
"There are a team of detectives working on this investigation and we have increased patrols in the local area."
Cleveland Police want to speak to anyone who saw a woman with a child and "in a distressed state" running across the road towards a wooded area near Kirkleatham Lane, where she got out of the car.
The force is also appealing for information about the two men in a dark-coloured saloon.
The driver, in his late 20s or early 30s, was white, with short, brown hair and a large build, police said. He had the word "love" tattooed across his knuckles.
The other man was white, in his early 20s, of shorter height and medium build, with brown hair.

That's good that they have descriptions. Usually they have none.

how dare they say the saloon was 'dark'

The OP story looks garbled and raises questions like, what happened in the car for six hours, and if the attackers knew the victim, did the victim know the attackers? Did they drug her?

A woman who claimed she was bundled into a car and raped in front of her toddler has been arrested on suspicion of wasting police time.
The woman in her 30s alleged she and her child were abducted by two men from Redcar seafront on 3 March. Cleveland Police later found the incident was "not as first reported" and dropped the search. One man was arrested but released without charge. Officers say the woman is being questioned and remains in custody. |

cricketer fed his wife bleach and wolloped her with his bat and was acquitted?
maybe she needed three female witnesses? to be seen as truthful. Acid throwing attacks up in london. |

he got sentenced today for lying about a cricket contract.

Gullible judge

He was gullible, should have been checked out at the time if being used to save him from going to prison.
In saying that even if true it shouldn't have been grounds for not jailing him. |

By:
Yes it's a bit worrying the way this is being reported. As if to say that, had the "professional cricketer" story been true, it would have been okay to let barstard off with a suspended sentence or something. Talk about missing the point!

They should had doubled the sentence for trying to play the system.
Still a weak and failing lawman. |
