Update: https://www.standard.co.uk/news/crime/police-hunt-serial-sex-attacker-who-has-struck-at-least-25-times-across-south-london-a3705756.html

From the article:

"The latest assault took place last Wednesday when a 15-year-old schoolgirl was grabbed as she walked down Sandbourne Road in Brockley."

Please stay vigilant. If you have concerns speak to your child's Head of School or local Safer Neighbourhoods Team. xx

Thanks for flagging this Saffron - think that one of the disappointing elements of this is how useless the CCTV footage is for identification purposes.

Absolutely. The images are just awful. It's really surprising that technology hasn't moved on in this area.

It seems the victims have generally been minors but age goes up to 35 according to BBC report......relevant both Family Room and main section.
