Protest planned against pedophilia and sexual assault

A protest against pedophilia and sexual assault will take place in Douglas later this week.

Organisers are calling for harsher sentences for those convicted of sexual assault.

They're also demanding more to be done to support victims, campaigns and training in schools for pupils and staff around the matter and make the Island aware of the impact sexual abuse can have on both victims and the wider community.

The protest is scheduled to take place from Noon on Friday (August 28) on Deemster's Walk by Douglas Courthouse.
