British Transport Police (BTP) have taken a significant step in their investigation into an alleged sexual assault on a train bound for Essex. Detectives have released a CCTV image of a man they wish to speak to, believing he may hold vital information pertinent to the case.
The incident, reported to have occurred on Monday, March 4, involved a man who claims to have been sexually assaulted while traveling from London Liverpool Street to Colchester at approximately 7:30 PM.
According to the victim, he woke up to find another man next to him, engaging him in the sexual assault without his permission.
Now cops are launching a nation wide hunt to nail the big time pervert before he strikes again.
The released CCTV image depicts a bald man wearing a jacket and a distinctive football shirt, bearing resemblance to the blue and red-striped kit of the fictional team AFC Richmond, featured in the popular Apple TV show “Ted Lasso.”
