Police are looking for a “young woman” wearing fishnet tights who is accused of sexually assaulting a 13-year-old boy in a Primark store.

According to cops, the woman, who was in her 20s or 30s, inappropriately touched the boy over his clothes after winking at him.

The attack occurred in the early afternoon at Primark in Above Bar, Southampton, Hants.
