Police
hunting an internet blind date, who sexually assaulted a teenager on
a park bench, have released this picture of their suspect.
The
victim, a 19-year-old female, had agreed to meet the suspect, who she
had met online, on Sunday, November 12, last year at 8.30pm at
Walthamstow Bus Station.
Both
the victim and suspect brought friends with them when they met.
Both
friends left separately soon after meeting.
When
the friends had left, the suspect grabbed the victim by the arm and
walked her into a nearby park where they stopped at a bench by the
play area.
The
suspect forced the victim to sit on the bench before sexually
assaulting her.
