LONDON - UK: A Deptford security guard raped a woman numerous times while on bail for drugging another victim's cup of tea and assaulting her as she lay unconscious.
Kwame Boakye, 53, of Frobisher Court, Evelyn Street, was sentenced to a total of 25 years in jail on May 5 after a Woolwich Crown Court jury convicted him of three counts of rape.
Boakye met his first victim through his work as a security guard, using his influence within the Ghanaian community to befriend her and offer help in getting a job.
He then persuaded her to attend his home on November 22 2012. Once there he drugged the cup of tea he gave her and, whilst she was unconscious, raped her.
Boakye was arrested on December 8 and denied the offence, claiming that he was impotent and the woman had never set foot in his home.
Whilst on bail, Boakye befriended another Ghanaian woman. Pretending he was a trader in clothing to Ghana, Boakye persuaded her to come to his flat.
When she refused his offer of a drink, he became agitated and used force to rape her.
Boakye then carried out a campaign of intimidation and threats, persuading her to return to his flat on numerous occasions where he raped her several times.
Once Boakye began to lose control over his second victim he began to harass her family and friends. When arrested, Boakye again claimed that he was impotent and the woman had never been to his flat alone and that he was impotent.
Investigating officers Detective Constable Chris Hammond and Detective Constable Liz McAvoy, from the Sexual Offences Exploitation and Child Abuse Command, said: "Kwame Boakye is a dangerous, calculating and predatory rapist. He used his position of influence in the Ghanaian community to befriend his victims and gain their trust. He then used this trust to lure them to his flat where he attacked them.
"We would like to thank his victims for their bravery in reporting him to police and providing their evidence in court. The Met is committed to supporting victims of sexual assault and bringing their attackers to justice. We would encourage any further victims of Boakye to come forward in the knowledge that they would be fully supported."
