On the 3rd November 2020, Kadian Nelson abducted and raped a 13 year old girl who was walking to school in the Mitcham area of South London. The abduction was witnessed by another school girl (aged 10), who brought what she had seen to the attention of her older sister. Mr Nelson was then confronted by the witnesses who recorded the encounter on a mobile telephone.
