West Midlands Police are renewing their appeal for information on a suspected rapist from Wednesbury who has been on the run for nearly a year. Simon Christou, 42, disappeared following an alleged attack in June 2025, and despite extensive efforts, he remains at large.
Ongoing Manhunt
Detectives have expressed frustration as Christou continues to evade capture. His mugshot has been shared over 7,000 times, but he may have fled to other parts of the UK or abroad. The case has caused ongoing concern, with an allegedly dangerous individual still free and no justice for the victim.
Police Warning
West Midlands Police have warned the public not to approach Christou if they see him. Instead, they urge anyone with information to call 999 immediately. The force continues to appeal for any leads that could result in his arrest.
Christou is described as a white male, approximately 5 feet 10 inches tall, with short brown hair. He may have changed his appearance. Police are asking anyone who knows of his whereabouts or has any information to come forward.
