A MOTHER and son who helped a young woman get home after she reported being the victim of a sexual assault are being sought by police.

The 18-year-old victim had been out in York on Friday night and the alleged assault happened after she became separated from her friends after leaving a nightclub in the early hours of Saturday morning.

She sought assistance from an unknown man at a location she described as a garage in the York or Harrogate area.

The man gave the woman a black jacket to wear which had the logo “FRANKE” on it.

He then telephoned his mother to attend the garage and she drove the woman to her home address in the Boroughbridge area.
