A man is due to be sentenced next month after admitting to a series of sexual assaults in Aveley and Grays.

33 year old Leonard Scamp, of Love Lane in Aveley, was arrested after incidents on Aveley High Street and in Dacre Crescent on December 6.

He was also charged in connection with a sexual assault in Grays the next day.

He will be sentenced at Basildon Crown Court on April 4.

PC Fred Theobald, of Essex Police, said: “No woman should be made to fear their safety while going about their daily business.

“Leonard Scamp has admitted to carrying out three attacks in the space of two days.

“He now faces the prospect of being behind bars for the foreseeable future and Thurrock is a safer place for this.”
