DETECTIVES are making a fresh appeal for information 10 months after a primary schoolboy was sexually assaulted at night in his own home in Ickenham.

Today (17), BBC Crimewatch Roadshow re-constructed the incident as part of an ongoing appeal to locate a man detectives wish to find.

It was on Saturday, November 23 last year that police were called just after midnight to a home in The Greenway, following a report that a man had gained entry before sexually assaulting the young boy in his bedroom.

The man fled the scene after the child told him he would phone the police.

CCTV footage shows the suspect exiting Ruislip Gardens station at around 11.30pm on Friday, November 22.

Another camera captures him around 20 minutes later passing a parade of shops in Ickenham Road near the junction with The Greenway.

In an appeal last December, the parents joined officers in urging anyone with information to come forward.

The boy's mother said at the time: "For the first time in our lives, our family are frightened.

“We are frightened going to and from our house. We are frightened in our home, a home we have built, loved and felt safe in for 15 years.

"Since the incident, our son has been unable to sleep in his own room.

“It has impacted on his schooling and his activities. He is quiet but trying to be so, so brave.

"What he endured is something no child of his age should, and the memory of what happened will never leave him completely.

"The thought of him closing his eyes and picturing the man wanting to harm him breaks our heart.

“We have tried to carry on as normal, but that fear is still there in the back of all our minds and it won’t go until this man is caught."

It is believed the suspect got in through an unsecure door. The victim's younger sibling was also there at the time, but no-one else was disturbed.

Det Sgt David Baldwin said: “We hope the brave decision by his parents to speak out - in tandem with new moving images - may help progress enquiries. We know the man was in the Greenford area prior to the offence taking place.”

The suspect is described as white, of slim build with short hair and stubble, and he was wearing a pair of blue jeans, a T-shirt and a dark-coloured coat.

There have been two arrests but both men have been eliminated from enquiries.

Anyone who recognises the man is asked to call police on 101. Please quote CAD 145/23NOV.
