Piccadilly Circus Rape: Police Release Image Of Suspect

Police are hunting this suspected rapist after a woman in her forties was raped in an alleyway near busy Piccadilly Circus in the early hours last summer.

Westminster police have just released a CCTV image of their balding suspect and have appealed for anyone who recognises him to contact them.

At approximately 3.00am on August 2, last year the woman was walking near Piccadilly Circus in London’s West End when she was approached by the unknown male.

He took her to a nearby alleyway where he raped her.

Detective Constable Sue McKenzie announced: “A dedicated team have been leading the investigation into this despicable offence and the next stage is to appeal to the public to help identify the man in the image as we believe he could assist with our enquiries.

“Specialist officers continue to support the victim through what has been an extremely traumatic time.

“I urge anyone who recognises this man, or if you are the man in the CCTV image, to contact us immediately.”

There have been no arrests and enquiries continue.

Anyone with information is asked to contact police via 101 or contact police via twitter @MetCC quoting reference Cad 6777/02Aug19.
