Gardaí investigating the alleged rape of a teenage girl in a playground in Co Mayo on Saturday are looking to speak to three young males. The 15-year-old was in Charlestown on Saturday afternoon with friends at 2pm when she met three young men who had travelled to the area in a black car. Gardaí have issued an public appeal for anyone with information to come forward, particularly anyone who was in the Lowpark area or the town square between 2pm and 8pm on Saturday. It is understood the young men had travelled to Charlestown from a town in the south of the county. “Gardaí are appealing to the public for information in relation to the rape of a teenage girl that is reported to have occurred at a playground in the Lowpark area of Charlestown, Co Mayo, on 26/09/2020,” said a spokesman.
