Notorious Flasher Graduated To Rape

A notorious flasher-turned-rapist is starting a 17-year prison sentence after strangling and dragging an unconscious woman into his home.

Nathaniel Mundle, 23, throttled the victim, aged in her forties, as she walked past the address in Bounds Green, Haringey, north London and was held against her will for over an hour.

He appeared on the local police radar as a potentially dangerous sex offender when caught as a 19 year-old indecently exposing himself to five females in five days.

The victims included cyclists and a dog walker, some with their young children, and resulted in a judge banning Mundle from his Walthamstow Marshes hunting ground.

He ultimately received a non-custodial sentence, having spent time locked-up on remand.

He has now pleaded guilty to raping his latest female victim on September 25, last year and also admitted a charge of kidnap and false imprisonment.

Wood Green Crown Court heard it was approximately 4.00pm when the victim was attacked from behind by Mundle, who beat and throttled her until she passed out.

He dragged her into his home and raped her while she was unconscious and forcibly detained her for over an hour.

Fortunately the woman managed to escape and was helped by a neighbour and police and an ambulance were called.

She was hospitalised due to the brutality of the attack.

Mundle fled the scene, but officers were waiting for him when he returned just before 1.00am and arrested him.

Detective Constable Lydia Polydorou-Evangelou, of the North Area Command Unit’s Safeguarding Team said: “This was a shocking, pre-meditated assault in which a woman was violently attacked.

“I would like to thank the victim in this case, who showed great bravery in making her escape and contacting us.

“I would also like to thank her for assisting the investigating team, who made sure this dangerous individual was removed from the public domain and is now unable to hurt anyone else.

“I’m very happy with the sentence and I hope this case underlines how seriously we take allegations like this.”
