Man arrested after teenage girl sexually assaulted in Rochdale town centre

Detectives have arrested a man after a teenage girl was sexually assaulted in Rochdale town centre.

The 17-year-old victim was allegedly approached in the Memorial Gardens area by a man who inappropriately touched her.

The incident happened on Friday, May 28, and was reported to police the following day.

Last week, Greater Manchester Police released details of the incident along with an image of a man they wanted to speak to in connection with it.

A 37-year-old man was arrested in Rochdale this morning (December 30) on suspicion of sexual assault.

He is currently being held in custody.

GMP say the girl is continuing to receive support from police and specialist partner agencies following the incident.
