A judge lifted an anonymity order on Zyroam Allen, who has now turned 18, as he sentenced the teen to four years in jail.
Allen targeted the women in Hackney Marshes in June 2022 and teams from across the Met Police worked together to identify him.
One of his victims said: "I no longer run along the canal as I do not feel safe. I won’t even go for a walk if I am by myself as I find it too stressful. Police said the victims were either walking or jogging during the day when they were approached by the teenager who was often on a bicycle. Detective Constable Kate Robins of CID Central East said: “I’d like to praise the strength and bravery of all the women who reported these crimes to the police.“The dedication of the many officers who worked on the case is a credit to the Met. Without this collective effort we would not have achieved justice for the victims.
