Girl sexually assaulted during school trip to park

The police are searching for a suspect after a seven year old girl was sexually assaulted during a school outing in Scarborough. The girl was with a school group at around 1:30 pm last Friday when she was approached by a man and was sexually assaulted. The suspect is described as a white male aged 40-50. He was around six foot to six foot four. He was a medium build with short grey hair and had brown eyes. The police say that the assault has happened despite the presence of an adult. They assume that the adult who was with the group did not realize the assault has taken place. The police are currently on search for this man.
This is a very sad event and is why I believe schools should have smaller classrooms. A teacher looking after 30 plus kids may not be able to handle them all. It is very easy for one to wander off or to get taken away. Schools should definitely lower the amount of students in per class or make more teachers go on field trips to avoid accidents like this. This could have easily been avoided and unfortunately a young girl is stuck with a terrifying memory. I hope this man is found and goes to jail for this sick crime

I have to agree with you when you say there needs to be more supervision on field trips maybe parent volintears, this is quite horrible but unfortunetly the man has a very common build and it sounds like he might get away with it
