Rapist Who Preyed On Prostitutes And Lone Women Caged

A sexual predator, who targeted prostitutes and other lone women, has been caged for seventeen years for a series of violent attacks.

Romanian Florin Cozma, 46, of Taylor Close, Holloway was convicted at Wood Green Crown Court of two rapes; one attempted rape and three robberies.

The investigation was conducted by the Sexual Offences, Exploitation and Child Abuse Command's Serious and Complex Case Team after a series of unprovoked assaults on vulnerable lone females in the Haringey area. 



The victims, most of whom were sex workers, were taken to isolated areas of public parks where they were violently attacked.



One prostitute, who refused to participate in sexual activity, was raped vaginally and orally by the defendant before being robbed and two other sex workers were robbed and physically assaulted.

Another female was taken to a park in Haringey where Cozma attempted to rape her, but she managed to fight him off.



Extensive enquiries were carried out using CCTV and ANPR to establish potential vehicles that were involved.

Despite DNA being present on two of the victims, the defendant was not known and worldwide enquiries also proved negative.



Officers carried out night-time enquiries, speaking to sex workers in the Haringey area and subsequently identified the defendant and he was arrested at his home address.



Detective Constable Anthony Shaw said: "This investigation involved a dangerous individual who preyed on vulnerable lone women in the Haringey area.

“His successful conviction sends out a message that the police will work tirelessly to protect the public from those who feel they are above the law and show no respect for others."



Detective Chief Inspector Adam Lowe, from the Serious and Complex Case Team said: "Cozma preyed on vulnerable women in the Haringey area, he did not show any of his victims empathy or compassion.

“A dangerous individual has been removed from the streets of London due to the hard work of officers from the Met's Sexual Offences, Exploitation and Child Abuse Command." 

Jail For Phuket Holidaymaker Who Returned With Stun Guns And Flick-Knife

A holidaymaker, who was stopped by customs after returning from a romantic getaway in Phuket with his girlfriend, was jailed for sixteen months yesterday after two stun guns and a flick-knife were found in his luggage.

Andrew James Smith, 39, of Bray Close, Crewe, bought the stun guns – disguised as torches - for only £9.00 on the Thai island and paid £1.00 for the flick-knife, which doubled as a cigarette lighter, because he was desperate to light up after his 13-hour flight.

He pleaded guilty at Isleworth Crown Court of unlawfully importing the two firearms at Heathrow Airport on Christmas Day, last year and possessing the offensive weapon after stepping off his El Al flight.

The court heard the items were found among gifts he had bought for family and friends, which included soft toys, remote-controlled cars and framed pictures.

“There was no intention of ever using these for self-defence or ever harming anyone,” said Mr. Stephen Mejzner, defending. “As soon as he got off the plane in Thailand he bought the lighter outside the airport because he wanted a cigarette.

“Every cigarette lighter there was a similar novelty item and these torches were on every stall and even children were buying them.

“The Thai locals were playing around with them and Mr. Smith thought they were a joke item. They were not even called stun guns, but 'zappers.'

“He had no idea they were illegal or could cause harm and intended giving one of the torches to his brother.”

Smith has since split with his legal secretary girlfriend. “The last few months have been an absolute nightmare for him and he has returned to drinking as a coping mechanism.

“An immediate custodial sentence will probably result in him losing his house of ten years.”

Judge Dugdale was pursuaded the five-year minimum sentence did not apply in the circumstances, but told Smith, who has convictions for grievous bodily harm and affray, importing such weapons brings the risk they could fall into criminal hands.

“It may seem more of a laugh when you are a long, long way away in Thailand, but then the reality comes crashing down when you return.”

Local Predator Extracted Cash From Soft-Target Family

Crowborough Road, Hastings

A “dangerous” convicted blackmailer, who preyed on a vulnerable Hastings family and demanded payment for so-called sexual favours she performed for their disabled son, has been jailed for five months.

Chantelle Williams, 35, of The Close, Rye, extracted at least £400 from the family after befriending the son, who has a learning disability and the mental age of a ten year-old, outside the front of the house.

On the first occasion she invited herself into the property in Crowborough Road and took the son into his bedroom, where she performed a sex act on him, and demanded payment of £40.

She then returned two to three times a week during the first half of last year, taking similar sums of money on each occasion.

Married Williams, who has a string of convictions, was once sentenced to seven years for blackmailing and robbing a St. Leonards-on-Sea man and was described by the judge as: “A dangerous young lady.”

She denied, but was convicted of two counts of harassing the father and son in their home between January 14 and June 29, last year.

Williams, who is currently receiving treatment for Hepatitis C at a London hospital, pleaded guilty to possessing a small amount of cocaine while in police custody on June 16, this year.

Prosecutor Miss Caroline Mungal told the court a housing officer raised her concerns with local police about what was happening at the family's home.

“There were concerns about a woman constantly visiting and taking money from them and there were concerns about their vulnerability.”

The elderly parents had both suffered strokes and their son was described as “child-like.”

“The father believed £300-£400 had been taken, but it was likely to have been more,” explained Miss Mungal. “She was told to go away, but continued to return and ask for money.

“The son was encouraged to take her into his bedroom and on occasions she exposed her breasts to him.

“She threatened that if she was not given money she would go to the police and the family paid her to go away.”

Sadly the father has since passed away.

A third harassment charge against an unrelated woman, who says she was approached in the street for cash by Williams and handed over £15 before she was followed home, where threats and more demands were made was dropped.

District Judge James Henderson told tearful Williams: “You have shown absolutely no remorse and you still blame the victims.

“This was cynical and manipulative and there were threats and coercion.”

She received a total of five months for the harassment charges, plus a fine of £100 with the alternative of serving one day in custody for possessing cocaine.

An indefinite restraining order was made, prohibiting Williams from contacting the son and attending his family's home address.

Anti-Fascist Counter-Demonstrator Hurled Object At English Defence League Supporters

An anti-fascist demonstrator, who hurled an object towards a group of chanting English Defence League supporters near Downing Street, was convicted of threatening behaviour yesterday.

James O'Brien, 30, of Eastfield Road, Peterborough was part of a group standing in the central reservation of Whitehall exchanging chants with the EDL protesters, who had gathered outside a pub.

He denied, but was convicted at Hammersmith Magistrates Court, of using threatening behaviour on March 15 and was bailed until August 13 for a pre-sentence report.

It was a day of multiple planned ptotests in the area and the EDL had been attracted by a gathering of the right-wing English Volunteer Force, which in turn drew counter-demonstrations.

The court heard the EDL group had gathered outside the Red Lion pub and the counter-demonstration – which included O'Brien – stood in the middle of Whitehall separated by a line of British Transport Police.

The opposing groups were chanting and gesticulating at each other and a beer can was thrown from the EDL supporters towards towards O'Brien's demonstrators.

The defendant was then seen hurling an unknown object overarm and with force towards the EDL group.

The object was never identified and it is not known if it struck anybody or caused any damage.

Hooded O'Brien immediately turned and fled, but ran straight into another group of police officers, who had just emerged from a van as the tension between the opposing groups escalated.

He was detained and arrested and the court rejected his defence that the police were incorrect in their identification of him.

Chelsea FC Fan's Volley Of Racist Abuse

A racist football yob, who abused three people at a Chelsea v Arsenal Premiership fixture last season, was fined today.

Tree surgeon Matthew Semken, 26, of Thornbury Gardens, Borehamwood, directed his abuse towards Arsenal players, supporters and another fan leaving the stadium with him at the final whistle after the home team's 6-0 victory.

He pleaded guilty at Hammersmith Magistrates Court to three counts of racially-aggravated threatening behaviour at Stamford Bridge on March 22.

Prosecutor Miss Victoria Ojo told the court all three victims were fellow-supporters and the first was Osman Durrani, who witnessed Semken shouting: “You useless c****,” towards the Arsenal players.

“The defendant then directed abuse towards him, saying: 'Go back to Turkey.”

Another fan, Abid Durrani, urged Semken to calm down as he aimed abuse towards the Arsenal supporters, but this was met with: “Shut you're f***ing mouth, you f***ing Turk.”

As Semken left the Shed end of the stadium he was heard shouting: “w*****, c***” towards an unknown fan and Peter Essekj jumped in between them to calm things down.

“He then directed abuse towards this victim,” explained Miss Ojo. “He called him a black c*** and said he should go back to Africa.”

The court heard Semken was nervous about appearing in court and was concerned about the outcome of the case.

District Judge Kenneth Grant said: “The most serious offence was the one involving Mr. Essekj.”

He fined Semken £150 for that offence, plus £60 on each of the other two, with £85 costs and a £20 victim surcharge.

There was no application for compensation or a football banning order.

Rapist Who Tried To Beat Pensioner Victim To Death Hangs Himself Before Sentencing

A handyman, who changed a 70 year-old woman's lightbulb then returned to rape her and attempt to beat her to death, has killed himself in his prison cell six days before he was due to be sentenced.

Robert Richards, 22, broke into the pensioner's suburban Chessington home in the early hours and left her with ten broken ribs, a fractured cheekbone and jaw, broken hip and vertebrae and bleeding on the brain.

He was convicted at Kingston-upon-Thames Crown Court of the rape, attempted rape and attempted murder of the brave woman on October 23, last year and was due to be sentenced last monday.

However, at 9am on July 29 Richards, of Pear Tree Close, Chessington, was found collapsed in his cell at Wandsworth Prison and rushed to St. George's Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 9.50pm.

The court heard he complained of bullying in a suicide note and had been prescribed anti-depressants.

Ironically his cell mate killed himself last March.

A post-mortem was carried out on Richards and an inquest will be heard at a later date. No indication has been given as to the cause of death.

Prosecutor Mr. Jonathan Loades told the court today: “It indicated that he had been bullied during the time that he was in prison.”

Judge Nicholas Price QC formally closed the case and said: “In my experience, both at the Bar and on the Bench I have never had to deal with a case of such gravity, with a victim of that age and in such frail health.

“She has to be commended for her courage in giving evidence in the way she did before the jury.”

Between 5:30am and 6:30am the women was woken by Richards, who put his hand across her mouth and threatened to kill her if she screamed.



He then raped and beat her severely and she suffered a cardiac arrest whilst being treated in hospital.



Following the attack Richards left the property via a back door and the victim was able to alert her neighbours by banging on an internal wall. 



Police enquiries quickly led to Richards being identified as a person of interest and he was arrested locally the same day.




When he was brought in to custody he was wearing two pairs of tracksuit bottoms.

His clothing was seized and officers found the first pair of bottoms were covered in blood.

Forensic analysis identified the blood as the victim's.



Richards lied that he found the bloodied tracksuit bottoms in the street and his DNA was also found under the fingernails of the women.



He tried to create an alibi when he bought tea bags at a local shop, knowing he would be captured on the store's CCTV.

Detective Inspector Nicky Arrowsmith said: “I would like to pay tribute to the spirit and courage displayed by the victim, who gave evidence during the trial.”

Cocaine Smugglers' £25m Banana Slip-Up

Cocaine with a street value of £25m hidden inside plastic bananas imported from Colombia along with the genuine fruit has been seized.

Four men were arrested in Lambeth and Kent and 150 kilos of cocaine intercepted after an intelligence operation by officers from the Metropolitan Police's Special Projects Team.



The consignment of bananas arrived at Dover at around 6.00am on Thursday, 10 July.

It was then transported by lorry at around 9.00am to a unit at the Oast Park Trading Estate in Hartlip, Kent.



A 48-year-old Kent man unloaded the importation and locked up the warehouse.

The warehouse was kept under observation by detectives, while their colleagues continue to monitor other members of the criminal network.



The lorry driver was not part of the network.



At around 7.00pm that day, three Colombian men aged 36, 46 and 39 met at an internet café in Stockwell, south London.

They are believed to have accessed instructions relating to the assignment via email.

The men were kept under surveillance and were arrested half an hour later as they left the café.



'A' is from Kent. The other three men live in London.



Police forced entry to the warehouse at 10.30pm, and, following a search of the consignment of bananas, found cocaine compressed and hidden inside plastic bananas concealed within the fruit.


All four men remain in custody at a London police station. 

Jealous Husband Stabbed Wife To Death During Row

A jealous husband, who mistakenly believed his wife was enjoying a string of affairs, stabbed her over thirty times during a murderous rage at their west London home.

Richard Otunga, 37, of Taywood Road, Northolt, was convicted by an Old Bailey jury of murdering Shamim Gabriel, 33,

Police were called at 7.00am on December 29, last year and Shamin was pronounced dead at the scene at 7.25am.

The couple had been married since 2003 and they had an eight year-old daughter.

Otunga was arrested at the scene.

He had called his father-in-law to the address following the stabbing, stating he had had an argument with his wife. 





Otunga claimed his wife tried to attack him with a knife, which he took off her and in the course of the struggle she was fatally stabbed.



Detective Chief Inspector Chris Jones, of the Homicide and Major Crime Command, said: "Richard Otunga was a jealous controlling man who could not accept his wife having any contact with other men. 



"Otunga tried to convince the jury that he had feared an immediate threat of violence from his wife and then lost control.

“The jury clearly did not accept this and have returned a verdict of murder.



"He tried to state that his wife had been having affairs but there was no evidence whatsoever to substantiate this. 



"The family of Shamim who have had to give evidence at court have acted with great dignity and I hope that this conviction can be some comfort for them." 


Cosmetic Surgery Patient Fraudulently Used Credit Cards For Fat-Busting Liposuction

A cosmetic surgery patient fraudulently used six different credit cards to pay for fat-removing liposuction procedures at two Harley Street clinics - even obtaining a refund when she was unhappy with the outcome.

Graduate Thelma Idahosa, 29, of Durham Hill, Bromley swindled £8,500 worth of liposuction on her thighs, stomach, arms and 'love handles' as well as skin-tightening procedures and received a suspended prison sentence.

She was convicted at Woolwich Crown Court of three counts of fraudulently making false statements to the Harley Street Skin Clinic that she was authorised to use the cards in relation to £4,000 worth of cosmetic surgery.

She was similarly convicted of five counts in relation to the West One Cosmetic Clinic, regarding £4,500 worth of treatment, plus falsely representing she was entitled to a £1,000 refund.

Described as "incredibly rude and aggressive" by an employee of West One Cosmetic Clinic Idahosa - who was subject to a suspended prison sentence at the time - demanded a refund because only three litres of fat had been removed instead of six.

She phoned the clinic "shouting and ranting" and threatened to visit and cause a scene in front of other patients and the company suffered an additional loss after agreeing to refund her two sums of £500.

Prosecutor Mr. Arizuna Asante told the court today: "Other people's identity came into play when the cards were preferred for payment. This was fraudulent from the outset and consisted of multiple frauds."

Idahosa was seven months into a two-year suspended sentence when she embarked on the frauds in May and June, 2012.

Recorder Michael Wood QC told the mother-of-two: "You really should be going to prison. There is only one reason you are not and that is because you have a relatively young child.

"A sentence of imprisonment that would amount to weeks or months is outweighed by your child's rights.

"However, you can't hide behind your children forever and if you commit an offence within the next two years you will go to prison whether you have a babe in arms or are pregnant."

Idahosa was almost certainly told the same thing when receiving her original suspended sentence seven months before the frauds.

She received six months imprisonment, suspended for two years, was placed on a two-year supervision order, must complete a thirty-one day accredited programme and perform 150 hours community service work.

"You are a very, very lucky woman," Recorder Wood told Idaho, who is not subject to a costs or compensation order.

Businessman Cleared Of Assaulting Drunken Nightclub Woman He Took To His Hotel Room

Ainura Dillon

A Cheshire businessman's late-night encounter with a drunken woman he met at a West end club ended with each accusing the other of wanting paid sex in his hotel room and the police being called.

Company director Paul Craven, 53, of South Downs Road, Hale, Altrincham, claimed Victoria's Secret employee Ainura Dillon, 39, asked for £200-£250 for sex, but she insisted it was he who offered to pay for sexual services.

City of London Magistrates Court heard Mr. Craven was arrested for assaulting the married mother-of-two at Searcys Hotel, Pavilion Road, Knightsbridge on March 7, but they cleared him after a trial.

“This is the fourth time I've flown in from Malaga. I've had to stay in hotels, it's cost me thousands of pounds and I am innocent,” he told the court.

Mrs Dillon admitted drinking beer, wine, cocktails and champagne, including a bottle bought by the defendant, and next remebered being in his hotel room after asking for their taxi to take her home to Wanstead.

“From the beginning he offered money, but I told him: 'No' and that I wanted a taxi. I knew what he wanted obviously. He wanted sex,” she told the court.

“He got angry and threw my bag from the room into the corridor. He pushed me in the back and started pulling down my pants.

“He held me and pushed me onto the carpet and started beating my left side. He was holding me with one hand and with the other was beating my left side without stopping.

“I was thinking I was going to die. I was thinking this man was not going to stop.”

She admitted she was drunk throughout the encounter, but insisted Mr. Craven had produced three £50 or €50 notes in the hotel room.

Mr. Craven's case was that Mrs Dillon approached him in the club and asked for a glass of wine and when they got into a taxi afterwards the driver refused to take her any further.

She then asked for another drink and the defendant invited her into the hotel bar where he was already staying, but because it was closed they decided to order wine and sandwiches via room service.

Mr. Craven insists she asked for payment for sex and at that point he immediately asked her to leave and did not assault her.

Mental Health Carer Sexually Assaulted Vulnerable Female Resident

A care worker, who sexually abused a vulnerable woman with learning and mental health difficulties during a secret night time visit to her room, has been jailed for twelve months.

Mustapha Aregbesola, 43, of Dock Head Road, Chatham, Kent was employed at a Royal Borough of Greenwich respite centre.

He was convicted at Woolwich Crown Court of sexual assault and cleared on two further counts.

On December 19, last year the victim confided to a member of staff Aregbesola sneaked into her room after she went to bed.

The allegations were reported to the police and an investigation was launched by specially trained detectives from the Met’s Sexual Offences, Exploitation and Child Abuse Command (SOECA).




Detective Constable Sue McKenzie of SOECA, said: “Aregbesola was entrusted to care for this woman but instead he sexually assaulted her.



“The psychological damage and distress he has caused the woman, her family and carer is immeasurable.



“I would like to take this opportunity to commend them for having the courage to give evidence court, and am grateful for the assistance of the intermediaries who made this possible. 



“I would also like to urge any other victims of sexual offences who have not yet come forward, to contact the police where specially trained detectives will treat them with the utmost sensitivity.” 

Benefit Fraud Couple Jailed For £188,000 Swindle

Greedy: William Kapuya & Nicole Mwamba

A benefit fraud asylum couple, who masterminded a seven-year £188,000 swindle which involved multiple aliases and a secret property portfolio financed by taxpayers, were both jailed yesterday.

Congo-born Mother-of-two Nicole Mwamba, 47, of Campbell Road, Caterham, who received two-and-half years, lied on mortgage applications that she was a well-paid professional then repaid the loans with illegally-claimed housing benefit, Croydon Crown Court heard.

She is responsible for bogus claims totalling £142,000 and her fellow-Congolese second husband William Kapuya, 47, of Campbell Road, who received fourteen months, another £46,000.

Mwamba was granted permanent leave to remain in the UK after claiming her first husband was persecuted for his political beliefs and had all his property and savings confiscated in their native country.

However, after he died his assets were all transferred to her in the UK without any problems.

Investigators discovered that as recently as 2012 she had also been receiving €736 per month in benefits from the French welfare system and was using the identity of a Congolese friend who obtained Belgian residency in her UK scam.

Needy: Kapuya & Mwamba

Prosecutor Miss Francesca Levett told the court Mwamba bought a house in Beulah Grove, Selhurst for £165,000 in November, 2004 in a different name to her housing benefit claim, which began in 1998.

She told lenders whe was earning £42,000 with a housing organisation, despite never working, and slapped down an £18,000 cash deposit even though insisting she had no savings or assets in her benefit claim.

“This case involves a number of identities and addresses and throughout her claims Mwamba said she had no savings or capital,” explained Miss Levett.

After buying the Beulah Grove property Mwamba continued claiming benefits in her different married name.

“She was keen to keep these two identities appart. This was a calculated and contrived decision by Mwamba to only give the Department and Work and Pensions (DWP) the information she wanted them to know.”

Meanwhile Kapuya was claiming housing benefit in Ferndale Road, Brixton and then in Partridge Knoll, Purley while keeping his marriage secret and claimed an extra severe disability premium while insisting he did not have a partner.

He continues to receive thousands of pounds of free dialysis treatment on the NHS.

When buying the second property Mwamba told lenders she was a £57,000 a year finance director.

“As a benefit claimant she was poor and needy, but as a mortgage applicant she was successful and employed,” said Miss Levett.

As long ago as December 14, 2005 Mwamba was called in by Croydon council for a compliance interview, but the frauds continued regardless.

Kapuya was still receiving housing benefit for the Ferndale Road address while living in Campbell Road when he was arrested on October 11, 2011.

Mwamba claimed £1,000 housing benefit from Tandridge District Council for the same three-bedroom house, with the money paid into a secret bank account she had failed to declare.

“It was to generate income for Mwamba to pay her mortgage. Mwamba has never worked and she needed to pay her mortgage somehow.”

She also had an income support claim under one of her aliases paid into the bank account of her fifteen year-old daughter.

Mwamba was convicted of two counts of failing to notify a change of circumstances to the London Borough of Croydon on or about November 3, 2004, in relation to a housing benefit and council tax benefit claim, namely that she had purchased 52a Beulah Grove.

She was similarly convicted of making false representations in relation to the two benefit claims regarding the property on or about December 15, 2004 and May 23, 2006.

She was also found guilty of failing to notify a change in circumstances on or about November 23, 2007, namely that she had purchased 66 Campbell Road and making a false representation in relation to the Beulah Grove and Campbell Road addresses, namely failing to declare she lived with her partner.

Mwamba was also convicted of three counts of fraud against Tandridge District Council between December 5, 2007 and February 9, 2011; two counts of making false representation to the DWP regarding property ownership and failing to notify a change of circumstances to the DWP.

Kapuya was convicted of four counts of fraud against Croydon council in that he failed to disclose he was living with Mwamba and that he needed housing and making a false representation to the council in relation to a housing benefit and council tax benefit claim regarding the Purley Knoll home.

He was also found guilty of making a false representation to the DWP regarding a severe disability premium claim, which would have inceased his existing income support payments.

Prolific Sperm-Donor Prof Convicted Of Sexually Assaulting One Recipient

A UCL professor, who has fathered 58 children via his "one stop shop" insemination service, is facing imprisonment after molesting a wannabe single mum who used his services.

Professor Gennadij Raivich, 51, a perinatal neuroscientist at University College London - who also has three children of his own - coined the phrase 'Artificial Insemination Plus', which promised sexual 'extras' to donors - namely oral sex.

The victim, 31, travelled from her Cambridgeshire village to his London home and had to repeatedly perform oral sex on him to obtain the samples she craved, Blackfriars Crown Court heard during the two-week trial.

Raivich, of Rashleigh House, Thanet Street, St. Pancras was convicted of two counts of sexually assaulting the woman, who was groped between the legs and had her breasts touched, and he was released on bail until September 30 for a pre-sentence report.

This conviction can be reported for the first time after a Contempt of Court Act order was lifted after the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) announced they would not be pursuing a retrial in relation to eight more counts the jury could not agree on.

"The CPS made the decision not to proceed with a retrial on any charges the jury couldn't agree on," said William Clegg QC, defending.

The two other complainants, both 26 year-old lesbians, also told the court the defendant abused them, but the jury were unable to reach verdicts in relation to one count against the first and seven counts against the second.

Raivich carried a "donation kit" containing a dvd player, which he watched pornography on, rubber gloves and a speculum and pipette and was happy to carry-out home visits.

Fifteen satisfied female 'customers' from all over the country spoke in his defence, including a police officer, maths teacher and lecturer, some of whom had two and in one case three of his children via Artificial Insemination (AI).

Prosecutor Mr. Tom Wilkins told the jury: "You have to ask yourselves what kind of woman agrees to meet a complete stranger, they do not even know his real name, for AI.

"Someone who is desperate and is prepared to put up with the potential embarrassment and humiliation and who have kept the details from their friends and families.

"A perfect victim for sexual assault, someone unlikely to complain.

"Compare the women to this defendant, someone who has traded on the fact he is a doctor and paraded his scientific knowledge, impressing them with his apparent expertise.

"What kind of man embarks on a breeding programme to have as many children as possible?

"You will have to ask yourselves if he knows as much as he claims.

"You may feel there is a high degree of narcism in what he has done and is sexually motivated in some of these transactions.

"He provided a one stop shop for women who wanted semen. All were desperate to have a baby."

Raivich's service was informal and did not conform to the guidelines of the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority and he often used the pseudonym 'Frank Qualman'.

Raivich told the victim that her chances of becoming pregnant were increased if she orgasmed during the insemination process.

The prosecution accept Raivich is a qualified doctor in Germany, but has always been an academic scientist and has never practiced medicine and is not registered with the General Medical Council.

"On the websites he advertises his services as a sperm diner and represents himself as a: 'Medical doctor based in Central London' providing a service called Intra-Cervical Insemination or ICI."

In a video-recorded police interview played to the jury the woman said: "He kept asking for AI Plus because it would make things quicker.

"He laid sofa cushions on the floor and was taking his trousers off and said he wanted AI Plus because it would be quick and he did not have time to provide the sample himself.

"With my baby brain I agreed to AI Plus and he took his underwear off and lay on the floor and I performed AI Plus and the donation was ready in thirty seconds.

"While I was doing AI Plus he asked me to take my clothes off so he could touch me.

"I said I did not mind doing AI Plus, but did not want to do anything else, but he put his hand on my bottom over my jeans then kept trying to put his hands down my waistband and up my top." 

Raivich also groped her between her legs during the sessions. "He told her an orgasm would help her conceive," added Mr. Wilkins.

"She told him three or four times not to touch her there, but he went ahead regardless and now he says he can't recall stimulating her in this way.

"He was not the altruistic donor, but someone who is sexually-motivated. 

"She was desperate for a baby and returned a week later for a donation in return for performing oral sex on him and felt she had to put up with it, she had been trying for a baby for a year."

The first lesbian complainant saw Raivich on February 27, 2012 when "wholly gratuitously and without warning" he inserted two to three of this fingers into her vagina for three to five seconds, the jury were told.

The third victim was visited twice by Raivich at the home she shared with her lesbian partner in Great Yarmouth and she told the court things started badly when she walked into the living-room during the defendant's 'preparation'.

"When I walked in his trousers were undone, which made me feel uncomfortable and I turned up the tv for him. His button and zip were undone and I sort of ran out of the room quite fast back upstairs.

"I was waiting for him  to turn around before I got undressed. He told me not to be shy, that I had nothing to worry about and stood there with a scary smile on his face, glaring at me.

He then lifted up my top and started to grope my boobs. I just froze, he hadn't done it the previous time so I knew it was not right.

"He lifted my t-shirt up and moved my bra away from my breasts. He was just groping my boobs, squeezing them and smiling.

"He was looking at me, just smiling, it was like something out of a horror movie the way he was looking at me.

"I pushed my top down and he continued to smile at me and started to push his fingers inside me, which again I knew was wrong. He hadn't previously done this.

"He then pushed down on my clitoris, he just smiled at me. I just wanted him to get out of the bedroom, I wanted it to be over, my whole body just froze."

Wife Of Disgraced Banker Caught Drink-Driving Hours After He Was Jailed

The drunken wife of a disgraced ex-Coutts banker was caught driving her husband's car hours after watching him receive three years imprisonment at the Old Bailey for laundering the proceeds of his son's £10m fraud.

Housewife Linda Noad, 58, of Uplands, Stonehouse Road, Halstead, Sevenoaks, sobbed in the dock of Bromley Magistrates Court last friday as she recalled simply getting into the vehicle to feel close to her incarcerated husband.

She pleaded guilty to driving his blue Honda Accord in Broke Farm Road, Orpington in the early hours of July 15 with 73 microgrammes of alcohol in her breath - the legal limit is 35.

Mrs Noad had spent the day before her arrest at the Central Criminal Court, where Roger Noad, 60, who worked at the prestigious bank for thirty years, was imprisoned for allowing "eye-watering" sums of cash to be channeled through his accounts.

Their son Matthew, 27, currently serving four years and eight months, had orchestrated a land investment swindle, which targeted pensioners in a cold-calling scam, who then invested their savings with the promise of big returns.

He made around £1.2m and £655,000 was funnelled through his father's bank accounts, all while still living with his parents.

Mrs Noad herself was charged with money laundering, but the jury failed to reach a verdict in relation to her.

"We'd been on trial, me and my husband, at the Old Bailey and he got three years," she told the court. "Me and my son left the Old Bailey at 5.30pm and we were drinking.

"I don't normally drink and I went to bed and I felt really bad because I had never been apart from my husband for thirty-five years.

"I got up and sat in his car and then started driving down the road and thought to myself: 'What are you doing?'

"I decided to turn around and the police were there."

She was fined £100, with £85 costs, ordered to pay a £20 victim surcharge and was disqualified from driving for twenty months.

Teen Arrested For Playing With Himself In Packed Courtroom

Police arrested a teenager after two lawyers halted court proceedings to tell a judge a waiting defendant was masturbating a few feet from them.

Parvinder Aullakh, 19, of Weald Way, Hayes, Middlesex was seated in the well of the packed courtroom as another case progressed when he was pointed out.

"There is an issue. He's got his bits out," solicitor Wahida Aktar told District Judge Kenneth Grant at Hammersmith Magistrates Court, pointing to her left and leaning away in repulsion.

Another lawyer, sitting next to her, told the judge: "He had his erect penis out and was masturbating."

Aullakh was appearing on a common assault charge, but Mr. Grant ordered him to leave and a plain-clothed police officer, who was sitting behind the defendant and unaware of what he was doing, detained him outside.

Uniformed officers were called and Aullakh was taken away in custody.
