They can't have found out anything about the perp of the bed sitting attacks because
1. they don't know who he is
2. there are no other unsolved child disappearances in the Algarve
3. all he did was sit and look in 10 cases and "sexual assault" in two cases which could mean touching a butt through a pair of pjs.....NOT "rape" as alleged on this forum.
4. if the bed sitter was the perp then why did no one smell him? Why was there no DNA, or even a butt mark on the bed?
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-26646885"The five girls - aged between seven and 10 - were sexually assaulted in their beds.
On one of these occasions, the man assaulted two girls in one villa."
So what we have is 5 assaults, two in the same location. So out of the twelve incidents that are being connected, 8 didn't include a sexual assault on a child.
We don't know what type of assault it was, nor should we. It may have been the most minor type, but I'm sure that it was still terrifying for the child involved.
"These offences are very serious and no one has been charged in connection with them. We also need to eliminate this man from our enquiries and ascertain whether these offences are linked to Madeleine's disappearance."
Sy haven't categorically stated that they think this man is involved.
12 break ins. 5 assaults on 4 occasions. No abductions. No murders. Sy believe the same man may have committed an offence in 2010, a year after Euclides Montenaro died. To connect the 2010 assault with the previous offences, there must be either evidence or the same/similar MO. none of which was abduction or murder.
