Police Release CCTV Footage After 6-Year-Old Boy Is Sexually Assaulted

Police have released CCTV footage of a man they would like to speak to following after a six-year-old boy was sexually attacked at a community centre in central London.

The incident is believed to have happened when he went to use the toilet at the Calthorpe Project on 1 July 2014.

Police said the suspect is believed to have been intoxicated and spoke with an Irish accent.

Detective Inspector Neil Rawlinson said: "Numerous inquiries have been ongoing since the incident took place in an attempt to trace the suspect, who we believe was heavily intoxicated.

"Unfortunately those inquiries have not identified any individuals; the reason we have now taken the decision to go public given all other lines of inquiry have been exhausted.

"I would urge anyone who recognises the man to come forward and contact my team on 020 8733 5999. To remain anonymous call Crimestoppers on 0800 555111."
