Who is Kadian Nelson?
Kadian Nelson, 27, from Tooting, south London, watched the schoolgirl before coming up behind her and placing one hand on her mouth and the other on her head, according to the court. He threatened to kill the girl and forced her to walk towards an alleyway in Mitcham, while she was on her way to school, on November 3 last year, said reports. The girl was assaulted just after 7 am, while she was on the phone with a friend talking about their homework.
Before sexually assaulting her, he ordered her to remove her coat and school blazer, then placed his own jacket on the witness. When a woman called 999 to report her daughter seeing a man catch a little girl on North Place in Colliers Wood, police were alerted. Nelson told one of the woman's relatives that the survivor was his sister when one of the woman's relatives interrupted him, according to the Crown Prosecution Service. The victim managed to signal that she needed help. When police came, Nelson fled, leaving her wearing his jacket.
The CPS's Kate Shilton described the attack as "terrifying." She said surveillance footage and DNA evidence from a lighter and tobacco pouch discovered inside Nelson's jacket pocket, which he left behind as he fled when the cops arrived, were included in the prosecution case. The girl, who Shilton described as having "remarkable courage", also identified him at an ID parade, according to BBC.
Nelson confessed to kidnapping, robbery, and made a death threat in Kingston Crown Court on Monday. A Prison Service spokeswoman police are investigating the attack against the pedophile.
