As part of the investigation into two sexual assaults last November in Wellington, the Police Ten-7 Series will be screening an appeal for information this evening.

The two women went to sleep in one of the bedrooms at about 4am on 1 December,  one of the women was woken up by an unknown male sexually assaulting her.

The woman managed to escape to a bathroom and seek help, meanwhile the offender sexually assaulted a second woman who was asleep.
