Eddwin Cortes-Pinerez, of Mitcham Lane, sexually assaulted five women in the space of three weeks, each time quickly approaching the women from behind and grabbing their bottoms before cycling off.

On Thursday, April 17, a Woolwich Crown Court judge jailed the 40-year-old for 19 months and banned him from riding a bicycle.

Police were called to the incident on Streatham Green at 3.50pm on Monday (April 7).

The victim, a man in his 30s was taken to hospital with serious head injuries.

He remains in hospital in a critical condition.

Enquiries remain ongoing and a scene is in place.

If you have any information, contact police on 101 and quote CAD 4450/07APR25.

A spokesperson for the Metropolitan Police said: “Police were called at 15:50hrs on Monday, 7 April to Streatham High Road, SW16 following a serious assault.

Charlie Territt, 31, from South Bermondsey, was formerly employed as a Higher Level Teaching Assistant at Streatham Wells Primary School.

He is charged with engaging in sexual communication with a child, causing or inciting a child under 13 to engage in sexual activity, and causing a child to watch a sexual act.

Territt pleaded not guilty to the three charges during a brief hearing at Inner London Crown Court on Tuesday, April 1.

The court heard the charges relate to allegations that Territt engaged in a sexual conversation with a child online last year.
