Detectives investigating the reported sexual assault of a teenage girl at Windale have confirmed the incident never occurred.
It was claimed a man in his 30s or 40s with prominent features had dragged the 14-year-old into bushland off the Pacific Highway near Yertala Close, and sexually assaulted the girl at knifepoint around 3:30pm Wednesday.
However, extensive inquiries and forensic testing has lead Strike Force and Sex Crimes Detectives to conclude the claim was a false report.
The girl has been spoken to by police and is being offered support services.
