A remorseless serial sex offender, Joseph Galloway Putney Rapist, who tried to assault a young woman in Colliers Wood sexually was put behind bars.
Following an attack on a lady in her 20s on September 5, 2018, police have described Joseph Galloway, of Upper Richmond Road, Putney, as a “dangerous man” guilty of “heinous crimes”.
As she made her way home, he assaulted her from behind, dragging her to the ground and finally stole her pocketbook.
Police praised the victim for her bravery in battling Joseph Galloway off, which drew a nearby witness; they also praised the witness herself for following him onto a train to record his appearance and the station he left.
Tuesday, February 12, saw Joseph Galloway imprisoned for four years and ten months.
