Police seek South London sex attacker caught on Brockley CCTV
The police are asking for the public to help identifying a serial sex attacker, who was caught on CCTV in Brockley following an attack on a 15-year-old girl. The BBC reports:
CCTV footage has been released of a man police want to speak to about 25 sexual assaults of women and children.
The Metropolitan Police believe the offences, which have taken place across five London boroughs, were carried out by the same suspect.
The victims, aged between eight and 35, were attacked in daylight, usually during morning and evening rush hours. The assaults, in which victims were indecently grabbed, occurred between 16 October 2016 and 22 November 2017.
The force found CCTV footage from the latest attack in which a 15-year-old girl was assaulted in Brockley, south London, just after 08:30 GMT.
It shows the man police would like to speak to as part of their investigation. He is described as a white man, aged in his 40s, with blue eyes.
Out of the 25 females assaulted, 16 were young children. The other victims were aged between 16 and 35.
The offences were mainly carried out in the Lewisham and Greenwich areas, but police have received reports of similar attacks in Southwark, Bromley and Bexley.
Det Ch Insp Andrew Furphy, leading the investigation, said: "The offences have been traumatic for the victims, who have been young females going about their daily lives.
Officers from the Metropolitan Police have increased patrols in the areas where offences have been reported, and the force said it was working with local schools to reassure pupils and parents.
