'Have A Drink On Me': Train Sex Pest Hunted

A train sex pest harassed a female passenger and molested her at the end of her journey.

British Transport Police (BTP) have released this image of their suspect as they appeal for the public's assistance in identifying him.

The woman was travelling between Sanderstead and East Croydon on Thursday, January 27 when approached by a male passenger at 1.45pm.

BTP are treating it as a “prolonged sexual assault.”

The male approached the woman on the train under the guise of asking for directions.

As they chatted he offered his drink to her as a gift, which she refused.

The unknown man then took a sip and offered the drink again.

As the woman went to get off the train at East Croydon station, he sexually assaulted her.

Officers believe the man in the CCTV images may have information which could help their investigation.

If you recognise him, or have any information, please contact BTP by texting 61016 or calling 0800 40 50 40 quoting reference 322 of 27/01/22.

Alternatively, call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
