Police are yet to make an arrest in the indecent assault of a mother in the public library car park last month.
The incident, which sparked outrage in the community, happened on the afternoon of 23 February.
Police, responding to queries from the Cayman Compass, said on Thursday that investigations are continuing, but at this time they have no further updates to report on the case.
An RCIPS spokesperson said investigators are exploring all avenues, including available CCTV footage from the surrounding area as part of their inquiries into the incident.
The victim, mother-of-one Lena (not her real name,) shared her story with the Compass, saying that she always felt safe here, but since her attack in broad daylight, she is fearful.
She said she was in the library car park in George Town with her 5-month-old baby when the attack happened.
“I felt so alone and so helpless,” she told the Compass during a telephone interview.
She said a male stranger, among a small group of men gathered at the library car park, approached her and slapped her hard on the buttocks as she was walking to her car with her baby.
She said her sense of security has been irrevocably damaged since that incident.
An RCIPS spokesperson confirmed the incident, saying the woman was approached by three males, one of whom touched her on the behind, before fleeing the location in the direction of Dr. Roy’s Drive, through the rear of the bus park.
One of the suspects was described as being a young man, possibly a teenager, of dark complexion, and was wearing all-black clothing and a hoodie.
The matter is still under investigation by police.
Her case was also highlighted on Monday by youth parliamentarians as they debated a Sexual Harassment Bill as part of the 15th Commonwealth Parliamentary Association’s Youth Parliament at the House of Parliament.
