A man has admitted numerous offences after officers linked him to a series of sexual assaults on teenage girls near Clapham Common.

John Nyhan, 22, of Ingrave Street, Wandsworth, today, Wednesday, 26 February, pleaded guilty at Kingston Crown Court to three sexual assaults.

Nyhan previously pleaded guilty on Thursday, 13 February at Wimbledon Magistrates' Court to one count of harassment.

Detective Inspector Aaron Moon, whose team led the investigation, said: "Nyhan remains in custody until his sentencing following his guilty plea.

"We know that his offending has caused a lot of concern locally and I hope that his conviction will allay some of those fears.

"It's possible that Nyhan may have committed further offences that have not yet been reported to police, and I would encourage anyone who is yet to speak with us to please come forward."

Detectives linked three sexual assaults committed between Wednesday, 8 January and Tuesday, 4 February in the Clapham Common area.

As a result of enquiries, Nyhan was identified and arrested on Tuesday, 11 February. He was charged two days later.

Nyhan was remanded in custody for sentencing, which will take place at Kingston Crown Court on Thursday, 10 April.
