The second assault took place in the early hours of December 10, 2022, on Curtain Road in Shoreditch, where a CCTV image of the alleged perpetrator was made public.
Initially treated as distinct cases, forensic analysis by detectives has revealed that the same unidentified individual is responsible for both assaults.
Detective Inspector Chris Heathcote of Scotland Yard stated: “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 Metropolitan Police are urging individuals who may have information about the suspect to come forward to aid in their investigation.
Expressing concern over the outstanding nature of the suspect, Heathcote reassured the public, stating, “I understand there will be concern that this individual remains outstanding, but can offer every assurance that we are taking all possible steps to ensure he is found and brought to justice for these awful crimes.”
Citizens are urged to remain vigilant and report any relevant information to the authorities promptly
