Police are currently conducting an investigation into an incident of sexual assault that occurred on Hove seafront on Friday, August 25th.
A woman in her twenties came forward to report the incident, which unfolded as she was preparing to go for a swim on Hove Beach at approximately 7:20 am. According to her account, she was approached by a man, and they engaged in a brief interaction during which they participated in a reiki/energy practice. Tragically, during this encounter, the man sexually assaulted her.
