Two women sexually assaulted in Liverpool city centre bar

A man subjected two women to a sexual assault in a bar in Liverpool city centre.

Dewi Dempsey, from Wrexham, assaulted two women in Moloko earlier this year.

Liverpool Magistrates Court heard he was drunk when he subjected both women to the assaults over a short space of time in the bar, which is just off Fleet Street, in the early hours of the morning.

He was later arrested and admitted two offences of assault by touching and two offences of assault by beating. The 20 year old, of Heol Llewelyn, Coedpoeth, Wrexham, was handed a two year community order and must undertake 50 hours of unpaid work and 20 rehabilitation days.

Merseyside Police has a range of resources available for victims of sexual assault.

They advise anyone who has been the victim of a sexual offence to call officers in the force’s Unity Team on 0151 777 1382 or 101. Information can also be passed to Crimestoppers, anonymously and free, on 0800 555 111. Victims can also seek support through the Rape and Sexual Abuse Support Centre Cheshire and Merseyside, which can be contacted on 01925 221 546 or 0330 363 0063 or Rape and Sexual Assault Merseyside (RASA) on 0151 558 1801.

Merseyside Police, alongside three other forces, have also been part of a pilot project for a new service to report rape, sexual assault and other sexual offences online – with the option to report anonymously.

The new online Rape and Sexual Assault reporting service is now live on the website here and enables people who do not require immediate police assistance to report the crime via their local force website.
