A serial child sex attacker who is targeting girls as young as 11 has struck again, police believe.
A string of sexual offences against at least nine victims, including seven schoolchildren, across south-east London are all currently being investigated as linked.
In all cases, the attacker has approached the victim and touched them, before running away.

The victims are three girls aged 11, four girls aged 13 and two women aged 25 and 27.
The latest assault, which is believed to be linked to the ongoing investigation, was on a 13-year-old girl in Eltham, on Tuesday at 7.45am.
Detectives have previously released CCTV images of a man seen in Honor Oak Road who they want to identify.

They have also released an e-fit of the man, described as having short blond hair and a long skinny face.
Following the latest attack, the suspect was described as white, tall, approximately 50 years old, with light blond hair.
Superintendent Lee Hill of Greenwich police said: ‘There is a possibility that these incidents are part of a linked series of attacks as a number of victims have provided very similar descriptions of the attacker – a white man aged between 40-50-years-old, with short white or blonde hair.
‘These incidents were very frightening for the victims.
‘I am appealing to the public to help identify and locate this man as quickly as possible.’
The first incident was reported back in june on a victim aged jut 13 at 8.20am, and the attacker then stuck again in August on a 11 year old.
There have been a number of similar attacks on children aged 11 to 13 reported through out September and October, and also two women aged in their 20s.
Following one incident the father of one of the victims said: ‘The father of one of the victims said: ‘This assault has upset and frightened our 11-year-old daughter immensely.

‘This type of behaviour is totally unacceptable and has had far reaching implications upon her mental state.
‘Our daughter and her friends are now scared to walk to school on their own, their confidence and feeling of independence have been damaged and our daughter is wondering why she was targeted for this sort of attack.’
