Detectives are urging the victim of a serious sexual assault allegedly carried out nearly 50 years ago to come forward.

They made the appeal after recently receiving a report of an incident which allegedly happened in 1973 in Belfast involving a girl in her early teens and a number of men.

The police say they recognise it may be daunting for the victim to come forward but have assured they will give their full support.
