Police are hunting for the offender who allegedly abused a child near Loch Ness. Investigation underway.
The tranquil surroundings of Loch Ness, Scotland, were shattered last summer by a shocking incident at the Loch Ness Bay campsite in Drumnadrochit.
On the night of July 31, 2025, an eight-year-old boy was the victim of a sexual assault. The suspect, described as a white man between the ages of 35 and 50, approximately 5ft 10ins tall, and bald, was seen leaving the boy's tent shortly after the attack[1][2][4].
The area around Loch Ness is a popular destination for hikers and campers, offering breathtaking views and a chance to connect with nature. However, the peaceful atmosphere was disrupted by this distressing incident.
Detective Superintendent Calum Smith has issued a statement regarding the ongoing investigation. Police Scotland has seized more than 1,500 hours of public and private CCTV footage and visited nearly 100 properties as part of their extensive inquiries. Specialist resources from across the country are assisting local officers. The police continue to appeal to the public for any information about the suspect or anyone seen in the area at the time[1][3][4].
The boy and his family are receiving support from specialist officers during this difficult time. It is crucial that anyone with information comes forward to help the police in their quest to bring the perpetrator to justice.
Loch Ness, famous for its legend of the Loch Ness Monster, has unfortunately become the scene of a far more sinister event. The police urge everyone to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity to ensure the safety of all visitors to this beautiful location.
