A 17-year-old girl was lured away from her friends and raped at a Surrey train station in a ‘horrific’ attack.
The teenager was attacked after a stranger approached her and her friends as they were walking to Guildford railway station on Monday, January 19, 2025.
The man approached the group at about 7pm, and when they reached the station, he tried to make the victim board a train with him.
She told him no, and he started to ask her to have sex with him, which she also declined.
The man detectives would like to speak to appeared to be dressed in a grey Nike zip-up hoodie (Picture: British Transport Police)
