A
rapist, who put his victim through a four-hour ordeal in her own
home, putting her in fear of her life with threats of retribution,
has been caged for eight-and-a-half years.
Mustafa
Osman, 36, of Lebus Street, Tottenham arrived uninvited at the 23
year-old victim's home in east London at just before midnight on
Monday November 11, last year.
Osman
slapped her face and pulled her hair before forcing her to remove her
clothes.
She
was then subjected to a variety of assaults spanning a four hour
period.
During
her ordeal the victim was threatened by Osman, who said he would find
her and 'ruin her life' if she told anyone.
Wanting
to get away from Osman, the victim explained she had to leave for
work.
Osman,
now asking her to forgive him, left at the same time.
When
she arrived at work the victim told colleagues of the incident and
police were called.
Osman
was arrested by the Metropolitan Police's Child Abuse and Sexual
Exploitation Command ten days later and was charged with two counts
of rape and one count of digital penetration.
He
was founguilty by a Snaresbrook Crown Court jury on all three counts
by a unanimous verdict.
Detective
Constable Richard Wren said: "This young woman was subjected to
a torturous ordeal that spanned four hours and put her in fear for
her life.
"She
was then compelled to give evidence in court by Osman entering a not
guilty plea.
“I
hope that the sentence handed down provides her with a measure of
comfort and goes someway to restoring her sense of personal safety."
