According to a witness, the "group of men" made "multiple" girls uncomfortable at the event.

Officers have now confirmed they're looking into the allegations that the girls were sexually assaulted just before 10pm.

An anonymous poster wrote on Facebook: "To the vile group of guys who made multiple girls feel uncomfortable at the fair last night, congratulations.

"You’ve now traumatised [them] and I really hope you learn the hard way.

"Touching girls inappropriately and making them feel uncomfortable when they’re meant to be having fun. It’s WRONG.

"They are literally destroying girls' lives."

Officers at Thames Valley Police are now investigating.

A spokesman said: "Thames Valley Police is investigating a report of five girls being sexually assaulted at around 9.45pm on Friday (20/5) at Witney Fair.

"Anyone with information should call 101 quoting reference number 43220220899."

Witney Town Council have been contacted for comment.
