CCTV shows rape suspect holding distressed woman in Shoreditch

This is the moment a serial rape suspect grabs a woman outside a school as police urge other potential victims of the prowler thought to have struck in Westminster and Shoreditch to come forward. In CCTV released by the Metropolitan Police on Wednesday, a man appears to have a strong grip on a woman as they walk past a school in Curtain Road, London. He opens his jacket and presses himself against her close to the party hotspot of Shoreditch in the early hours of Saturday, 10 December 2022. Detectives are linking two rapes of women in the early hours in Westminster in 2018 and Shoreditch in 2022, from where the CCTV was taken, to the same suspect. DNA forensic work by detectives found the same, but as yet unidentified, man was responsible for both sex attacks. Detectives say that it is “highly likely” the suspect launched other sex attacks in the four-year-gap and urged other victims to come forward as well as anyone who recognises him.
