A young Newport woman has today shared her horrifying experience of being sexually harassed in broad daylight in the hope of spreading awareness of how prevalent harassment is.

Ms B said the incident happened while she was on a walk in broad daylight, in a residential area

Ms B, who wishes to remain anonymous, had been walking a route through the town she took every day at around 4pm on Monday, July 10, when she was approached by a man in a grey van, asking for directions. Ms B said that, when she approached the van, she saw that was man was naked from the waist down and was performing a sex act.

"Nothing like this has ever happened to me before," she said."After a few minutes, I started to feel really uncomfortable. I couldn't believe what I had seen – how such an innocent, helpful interaction caused that to happen. At 7pm, she contacted the police. By then, the impact of what she had experienced had begun to sink in."All the 'what ifs', thinking about what I should have done or what could have happened. I was so close to his window that he could've dragged me in.
