Serial Rape Duo Convicted

Two rapists who carried out "horrendous sexual attacks" while allegedly encouraged to humiliate one terrified victim by a young woman who filmed the ordeal on her mobile phone, are facing lengthy prison sentences after being convicted.

Jermaine Kraftner, 27,(pic.top) of Berkley Manor, 317 Poole Road, Branksome, Poole and his cousin Corrie Pinney, 35,(pic.middle) of Yardbridge Close, Sutton, South-West London were found guilty of multiple counts relating to two separate victims and will be sentenced on August 1.

Cassie Webb, 20,(pic.bottom) may be retried on a charge of aiding and abetting rape, in relation to the second victim after the jury failed to agree a verdict.

"Kraftner and Pinney launched a series of horrendous sexual attacks on both victims at Yardbridge Close," prosecutor Miss Hannah Llewellyn-Waters told the Croydon Crown Court jury.

"The attacks were designed to degrade and instil terror in both women for the defendants sense of power and self-gratification."

The second victim - a 21 year-old mini-cab controller - had arrived at the address on April 20, last year for an alcohol and cannabis party and was introduced by the defendants to Webb, who is known as 'Mercy'.

"She was sexually and physically attacked and vaginally and orally raped and Cassie Webb encouraged the male defendants," explained Miss Llewellyn-Waters.

"She was subjected to prolonged violence and sadistic behaviour designed to humiliate, punish and petrify."

The victim was beaten with a belt and repeatedly punched in the face and head after Kraftner had accused her of "disrespect."

"Cassie Webb began to fan the flames by saying the victim was bringing bad vibes into the flat," added the prosecutor.

Webb remained as the defendants demanded the victim strip naked and was beaten when she initially refused.

She also watched as the victim was ordered to insert a broomstick into her vagina.

"Casie Webb was watching and filming the attack at this time on her mobile phone," added the prosecutor.

The female defendant egged on the attack as Pinney raped the victim, the jury were told.

"She was told if she was sick they would kill her and Kraftner was laughing," said Miss Llewellyn-Waters.

Webb then left the room as both Pinney and Kraftner raped the victim, who was left with black eyes and bruising to her chest and arms.

Both men also denied, but were convicted of an earlier rape on a 17 year-old girl at the address on July 29, 2009.

"On that occasion Pinney and Kraftner simultaneously engaged in oral and vaginal rape."

Webb pleaded not guilty to aiding and abetting rape; two counts of aiding and abetting sexual activity and aiding and abetting false imprisonment.

Both male defendants were convicted of raping both women plus charges of sexual activity and false imprisonment.
