A spokesperson for Norfolk Constabulary said: "Police take reports of all sexual offences extremely seriously.
"We would always encourage victims of any sexual offence to come forward and we will do all we can to ensure offences are thoroughly investigated and that those responsible are brought to justice wherever possible.
"Reports can be made anonymously or to partner police organisations who will do it for you."
