Two mothers whose six-year-old girls were sexually assaulted during a trip to Legoland over the summer holidays have spoken about the attack.

Their children were "touched inappropriately" by a man, believed to be in his late teens or early 20s, as they played on a fort structure in a pirate-themed playground at the theme park in Windsor.

Speaking to BBC Crimewatch ahead of a televised appeal, one of the parents said: "I wasn't concerned about them behind in there, I was concerned with one of them running out and getting lost, so (one of us) was at the entrance to catch them.

"You just wouldn't think that there was another adult in there."

The two girls had put Legoland on their "bucket list" of places they wanted to visit during the school break, and were attacked between 12.15pm and 12.30pm on 11 August.

An e-fit image has been released of the suspect, and he has been described as white, possibly under 5ft 8ins tall, and wearing dark trousers, a dark T-shirt and trainers at the time of the assault.

At the time, Thames Valley Police urged anyone who was at Legoland on the day of the assault to check their cameras in case they had inadvertently taken a picture of the suspect.

The force added: "Such offences are extremely rare and we are working closely with Legoland to identify the suspect."
