A 13-year-old boy who was arrested over the weekend has been accused of two sexual assaults.

Detectives in Westminster confirmed in a statement that the boy has been accused of sex assaults on two women.

The 13-year-old, who was arrested in Kilburn on Sunday (June 21), appeared in custody at Hammersmith Youth Court on Monday (June 22), pleading guilty to two counts of sexual assault.

The first assault is said to have taken place on June 1 and involved a victim in her 20s being touched inappropriately.

The second incident took place on June 17, where a 20-year-old victim was followed through a park and touched inappropriately.

The teenager has since been bailed and is due to return to Hammersmith Youth Court on July 13, police said.
