Man bailed last year is to face no further action

The 22-year old man detained last year in connection with a series of sexual assaults in Chiswick is to face no further action.

He was detained on Friday 12 December, at his home address in south London, on suspicion of sexual assault. He was then bailed to return this month pending further enquiries.

The detective in charge of the case says that the investigation into the assaults continues but there are no other suspects on bail in relation to the case.

There were four attacks on women in the Chiswick area toward the end of last year. On Friday, 14 November near a bus stop in Chiswick High Road at 8.15pm; on Saturday 15 November, at 2am, a woman was followed as she walked along Dukes Avenue then assaulted in Barrowgate Road; at 5am that same day, a woman was assaulted near Ravenscourt Park W6; and Sunday 30 November at 3am a woman walked from Chiswick High Road to Dukes Avenue, having got off a bus near Turnham Green, she was assaulted in Sharon Road.
