Leeds sex attacker could be as young as 12

The serial pervert has repeatedly struck near steps that lead from St Mark’s Road to North West Road in the Little London area of Leeds. On each occasion he approached his victims from behind before grabbing and sexually assaulting them.

The women – all in their twenties struggled free from their attacker, whom they later described as “very young looking”.

Policing teams have increased their patrols in the area after 
the incidents on October 13, November 17 and two on December 8.

The young attacker has been described as white, very thin, with short brown hair and between 12 and 20. He was wearing jeans, a black jacket and a shoulder bag.

Police believe he is local to the area or has a reason to be there on a Saturday evening.

Anyone with information about the incidents should call Det Cons Kate Lonsdale on 0113 241 4883 or via 101, or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
