Correction — 13 November 2026: An earlier version of this article wrongly said Kent Police posted the appeal on 4 February 2026 and that the date, time and location had not been confirmed. Kent Police published the appeal on 12 November 2026, and it gives the date, time and place of the reported assault. The article has been rewritten from that appeal. The correction is recorded on our Corrections page.
