Police pursue peddling pervert

Sussex Police today issued an appeal for information about a cyclist that has been slapping female bottoms before riding away.

The peddling pervert was first reported on January 10th, after a series of attacks that led to three women reporting sexual assault within 24 hours. The first attack happened on Portland Place, the second on Somerhill Road, and the third on Madeira drive.

The suspect was described as white, in his early 20s, 5′ 10″, of stocky build and wearing a dark hooded top with the hood up. He was riding a red and white bike.

Today, officers were looking for the suspect in St Anne’s Well Gardens as it is believed that he has struck again, although the most recent victims were unable to give a clear description of their attacker.

Brighton Police are seeking a male riding a pedal bike in Hove. The male slaps females bottoms then cycles off. Report quoting 288 25/1/17.
