The teenage girl reported that she was raped in Rye Park, High Wycombe, at around 3pm on Monday.

The boy was arrested but after being interviewed, was released on conditional bail while investigations continue.

Both the victim and her family are being supported by specially trained officers.

Thames Valley Police appealed to anyone with information to come forward.

‘However, I would like to re-assure members of the public that a full and thorough investigation is under way and we have made an arrest.

‘We believe this to be an isolated incident, with no wider risk to the public’.
