TWO TEENAGE BOYS were threatened and forced to fight each other, steal from a nearby shop and one of the boys was forced to perform a sex act on the other.
It happened in Brixton on Wednesday night February 11.
The two boys were approached by a man on a bus who claimed he had a knife, he threatened them and forced them to get off the bus.
The boys were led to a park in Newington Butts, where they were forced to fight each other and steal from a nearby shop.
The suspect then led them to the stairwell of a block of flats in Walworth where he forced one of the boys to perform a sex act on the other.
The suspect then walked away from the area in an unknown direction.
Detectives from the Sexual Offences Exploitation and Child Abuse Command have released a CCTV image of a man they would like to speak to following the incident.
Trainee Detective Constable Amy Beautridge said:
This was a most unusual crime and distressing crime, during which the two young victims were terrified by threats made by the suspect, who intimated he was in possession of a knife.
“He used their fear to control them and force them to effectively do as he said.
“Despite their young age, the victims have been incredibly brave in coming forward and providing information to the police and I would praise them for this.”

Unsung heroes. Well done to them all
And here’s me complaining about the weather. Put’s everything into perspective.
It must be so difficult having a child with special needs. But it does seem to bring the best out in people. Well done to you Jennifer for being the type of mother we could all learn from. And that 12 yr old boy is some hero. God bless ye both and hats off to ye.
Jennifer what a wonderful mother you are to your two children. Caring for them in such a loving and selfless way when you yourself must have a hard time of it with this condition yourself. Some people have a heavy load to carry on their shoulders. You are an inspiration. Wishing you and your family all the best.
Congratulations to all of you.also
Fairplay to her, very deserving. Though it was unfortunate that on SixOne when the camera cut to her 3 year old playing a game on a tablet, it was the Grand Theft Auto (rated 18). She was in the middle of carjacking somebody and the voice over was Jennifer saying “You always need to be watching them”.
You couldn’t script it. Whoever was in charge of editing that footage could not have missed that…
That is only something that a mother could do and Jennifer this is something in life that only a mother understands and you will be well rewarded. I know people who have no children. it is so sad, the greatest pleasure in life is your own child or children you are blessed life is not easy but there is millions of couples who would love to have what you have and i hope that you and your children have a long and happy life i wish you all well
have your say
