It follows an incident in the Drumahoe area on Friday night.
Said Ms McLaughlin: This is the third report of a serious sexual attack in our city in a week and people are understandably concerned.
“We have a number of victims who have been through the worst experience imaginable and police have had to increase their patrols to reassure people.
“Nobody should be subjected to this kind of attack.
“It ruins lives and my heart goes out to anyone impacted by these incidents.
“Violence like this is all too common place in our society and we have a long way to go before women and girls can feel safe just living their lives.
“I would urge anyone with any information about these attacks to come forward to police.
“We need to send a serious message about the consequences for engaging in this kind of sickening behaviour.”
