A Tooting Sex Offender Mohammed Abedin is out and about in your community. This is the visage of the disgusting sexual assailant who approached and assaulted two ladies mere minutes apart on New Year’s Day.
Mohammed Abedin, now 37, approached unfamiliar women, attempted to converse with them, and subsequently sexually attacked them.
Both assaults occurred on Upper Tooting Road on January 1. Mohammed Abedin, residing on Montana Road in Tooting Bec, was promptly recognised following the initial victim’s report to the police.
He admitted guilt to two counts of sexual assault and possession of cannabis on January 2 2019, at Wimbledon Magistrates’ Court. On that day, he was incarcerated for one year.
Mohammed Abedin will also be on the Sex Offenders’ Register for ten years. DS James Massey of the South West Command Unit, who led the investigation, said: “Abedin is a prolific offender and has shown that he is a risk to women.
“Due to the first victim quickly reporting the incident and then identifying him with officers present, he was detained very quickly.
“The following day, he was jailed and posed no further risk to the public.
