Manhunt Underway for Child Sex Attacker on the Loose for a Year
Police are hunting a man suspected of sexually assaulting a primary school-aged boy in his own home in Ickenham on September 17 last year. The predator has evaded capture for a whole year.
Chilling Home Invasion Caught on CCTV
According to police, the suspect broke into the boy’s house before carrying out the assault. The attack only stopped when the child threatened to call the police, forcing the attacker to flee.
CCTV footage shows a man believed to be the suspect leaving the scene via Ruislip Gardens station. Police have re-released the images, urging the public to help identify him.
Family Pleads for Answers After Horrific Ordeal
The boy’s parents have begged for information on the man’s identity and whereabouts. His mother revealed the child has been unable to feel safe or sleep in his own room ever since the attack.
The trauma has also taken a toll on the boy’s schooling and social life, leaving the family desperate for justice.
