Police hunting a serial rapist who has been on the loose for six years have released disturbing footage of the suspect preying on one of his victims.

Harrowing CCTV shows a man grabbing a lone woman in the street, who he later went on to rape in Shoreditch, east London, in 2022.
''The same suspect is believed to have raped another victim four years earlier on the other side of the capital near The Strand. Both areas are busy nightlife hotspots.

Scotland Yard took the unusual step of publicly linking the attacks, and releasing footage of the suspect on the prowl, as detectives fear it is 'highly likely' there are more victims.''
''In the sickening video, the man is seen locking his arm with the woman's as he walks her down the dark street.''

The Metropolitan Police are urgently seeking information to capture a man believed to have raped two women in separate incidents in Westminster and Shoreditch over a four-year period. The first attack occurred near the Strand on May 5, 2018, and the second in Shoreditch on December 10, 2022.

I hope the victims have all of the medical and psychological support they want/need, free of charge.

Hopefully he'll be caught from this appeal.

He seems to be older in reality than in the Police drawing.
He is also balding at the top of his head.

Fears 'serial sex attacker' has been targeting women in London

A rapist remains on the loose after he targeted women on the streets of London.

metro.co.uk

Detectives are now urging any other potential victims to come forward, as well as anyone who may recognise the man pictured.

'DI Chris Heathcote, responsible for investigating rape and serious offences in east London, said: ‘These two offences were initially investigated by separate teams given the distance between the two incidents, however we have since been able to forensically link the same individual to both offences.''
‘Given the four-year gap, we must assume that it’s highly likely the suspect has carried out further attacks.

‘A review of all unsolved rapes for this time period has identified no links to these two offences, but I would appeal to anyone who feels they have been a victim to come forward.’
The first attack took place at about 2.50am on Saturday May 5, 2018, near The Strand.

His skin tone also appears much, much lighter in the CCTV images than the e-fit image. JMO

and how many other victims don't remember their attacks because they were under the influence of alcohol and it's possible he drugged them as well IMO

why did he open his coat that way when he angled into 'hug' the victim in the CCTV? just a measure of control?
