Rapist Starting Nine-Year Stretch


A violent rapist is beginning a nine-year prison sentence after he was convicted by a jury of attacking a lone 21 year-old woman in the middle of the night.

Metin Sanci, 34, of Ferndale House, Manor Road, Canning Town, East London pounced on his victim as she walked along a North London street following a night out.

He was found guilty at Blackfriars Crown Court of raping the woman in Hanley Road, Finsbury Park (pictured) on July 24, last year.

Sanci suddenly grabbed the victim at 5:20am, punching her and putting his hands around her throat.

She fought back, biting, punching and scratching, but was unable to prevent Sanci raping her and fleeing.

He was caught by police fifty metres away after a neighbour, who heard the victim’s screams, raised the alarm.

The woman was taken to Whittington Hospital and treated for cuts and bruises.
