A man has been jailed for a spate of sex attacks carried out in east and central London.
Detectives pieced together CCTV footage and financial evidence to link Adekunle Olaleye Fadare to five separate sexual assaults, four of which took place on the same day.
Fadare, 39 (04.03.83) of Upton Road, Enfield appeared at Snaresbrook Crown Court on Wednesday, 11 August and was sentenced to a total of 25 months’ imprisonment after previously pleading guilty to five sexual assaults.
Fadare was also handed a five-year Sexual Harm Prevention Order and will be made to sign the Sex Offenders Register.
On Tuesday, 20 October 2020 Fadare arrived in Chingford shortly before 07:25hrs and over the following four and a half hours carried out the four indiscriminate sexual assaults.
Shortly after arriving in Chingford, Fadare attempted to buy food using his bank card. After the payment was declined he made off with the food without paying. This declined payment would later play a key role in helping detectives place Fadare in Chingford at the time the offences took place.
After fleeing the scene, Fadare encountered the first victim, a 23-year-old woman on Hall Lane, E4 as she walked to work.
The victim became aware of Fadare walking behind her and she attempted to quicken her pace to get away from him. Fadare touched her inappropriately from behind before grabbing her arm as he drew level with her. He then asked the woman where she was going.
The victim told him to go away and Fadare walked a few paces past her before turning around and walked back toward her.
In order to avoid him, the victim ducked into a side street. Fadare walked back in the same direction he had just come from.
From Hall Lane, Fadare made his way to Chingford Mount Road where he targeted a 15-year-old girl waiting at a bus stop on her way to school.
At approximately 07:40hrs Fadare approached her and sexually assaulted her by touching. Whilst carrying out the assault he also made lewd comments to the victim.
After this second assault, Fadare then made his way to the borders of Leyton and Hackney.
At around 11:40hrs on a pathway in Lea Valley Park, Fadare chanced upon a 31-year-old woman out with her child.
She was walking along a pathway in Lea Valley Park, as she continued towards a footbridge she noticed Fadare walking towards her. He did not move out of her way and once she was close enough, he again sexually assaulted her by touching her.
