Guernsey Police said a man was reported to have acted inappropriately towards a woman at about 10.45pm on Saturday 7 November.
He was seen leaving the St Peter Port area in a grey vehicle with a UK registration.
Officers are continuing enquiries into the circumstances and have appealed for witnesses to come forward.
The woman involved in the incident posted on social media that she was ‘harassed multiple times’ while she waited for her husband to collect her from the pier, with the man apparently trying to encourage her into the car.
The incident follows reports that a 13-year-old girl was followed and harassed by a man near Les Beaucamps High School on Wednesday 4 November.
In an update to the Guernsey Press, police confirmed that the investigation remained ongoing and that officers had carried out additional patrols in the area.
‘Enquiries into this matter are still ongoing, however we take reports of any kind of incident like this very seriously. The day after the report was made, plain-clothes officers were deployed to the area to carry out a series of patrols.
‘Guernsey Police always work closely with colleagues in Education on matters of safeguarding.’
Police previously appealed for anyone who was in the Les Beaucamps, Rue des Eturs or surrounding areas between 3.30pm and 4.30pm to come forward.
The man was described as being in his late teens to early twenties, approximately 5ft 5in tall, with blond hair and wearing a grey and navy tracksuit.
The reports have prompted criticism from Poppy Murray, of the Just Be Lads campaign, who has accused the States of failing to adequately address violence against women and girls, even though police have made it a high priority.
Miss Murray said she had been calling on the Home Affairs Committee to commission research into women’s experiences since launching her campaign in 2021, warning that similar incidents would continue unless research was commissioned.
‘I think the committee’s current plan is sub-par and irresponsible,’ she said.
‘They’re not proposing finally asking women and girls what is actually happening to them. This isn’t just about things that have been reported to the police. It’s about what women and girls are experiencing in their day-to-day lives – not just on nights out, but going to work, going to schools. You’re not capturing the real picture, and there’s no point at all creating a violence against women and girls strategy if you don’t understand what the issues are.’
She added on social media, following reports of the Les Beaucamps incident, that the government was ‘not doing anywhere near enough to understand, tackle, and prevent violence against women and girls’ and that politicians were not listening to expert advice.
She also questioned why young girls were being left to navigate potentially dangerous situations themselves.
‘Parents should not have to rely on the decision-making capabilities of their daughters in high-risk situations to prevent them from being harmed by adult men.’
Miss Murray told the Guernsey Press she had heard hundreds of accounts from women and girls about their experiences in the island, with more coming forward each day as awareness increases.
‘I can’t even count them any more,’ she said.
‘It’s way too many. This is why we need that formal route, so people can tell their stories in a way where we can measure it, rather than just trying to guess.’
She has urged people to support calls for independent research to establish the extent of the problem in the island.
‘The only way to change this is for the public to care enough to say “yes, we do need to be asking what is happening, we do need this data,” and if we do that collectively, then things will change.’
