Five Years For Rapist Invited To Woman's Flat

A rapist, who pounced on a woman he had just met during a night out in the London Bridge area when the group returned to her flat, has today been locked-up for five years.

Ricardo Ramsay, 25, (pictured) of Bowerman Avenue, New Cross forced himself on the 22 year-old after she went to bed, leaving the rest of the party to socilaise.

He was convicted by a Woolwich Crown Court jury of raping the woman on February 25, last year at her Bermondsey flat and will remain on the sex offenders register for life.

The court heard the victim and her friend went out socialising and met a group of men who they invited back to the flat.

The victim later went to bed whilst her friend and the men continued to socialise. 



During the night the victim was raped and items stolen from her flat and she contacted the police the following day. 



Detectives from Sapphire were assigned and analysis of CCTV at the bar the group had attended that evening identified Ramsay. 



He was arrested on March 29, last year and charged with rape on October 3.
