Officers received a report that the child was approached in his tent during the incident at the Loch Ness Bay campsite, near Drumnadrochit, Highland, between 12.20am and 1am on July 31, police said.

The boy’s family was in a tent next to him and police previously said that the child’s father overheard the incident and saw the suspect walk away from his son’s tent.

The child was reportedly left “traumatised and upset” by the incident.
