A Nigerian, Oluwadamilare Baiyewu, who lives in the UK and posed as a church volunteer to mask his sexual depravity, was on Thursday jailed for 24 years for the horrific assaults.
The 22-year old (pictured) was described as a ‘dangerous, calculating and predatory rapist’ who created the image he was the ‘pillar of the community’ by helping out at the church.
Daily Mail reports that the court heard how Baiyewu, from Fairlawn in Greenwich, first grabbed a 17-year-old at knife point on December 2, but she managed to break free and escape.
The court was told that a week later, in the same area of Binsey Walk, Thamesmead, Baiyewu grabbed a victim, also 17, as she got off the bus at 7pm, and put a knife to her throat threatening to kill her before marching her into a bin storage area under a walkway where he raped her in a secluded area.
He was tracked down after DNA linking him to the attacks was recovered, and arrested on December 16. Subsequently, he was placed on an identity parade where he was picked out by the victim whom he had attempted to rape.
On Thursday, Oluwadamilare Baiyewu was sentenced at Woolwich Crown Court to 24 years in prison, and will serve a minimum of 16 years in prison and will then be on license for eight years.
