A predator who hit a teenage boy with a baseball bat and raped him has been jailed for 18 years.
The Old Bailey heard how Kieran Johnson, 21, hit the 18-year-old victim with a baseball bat and demanded he hand over his phone, keys and vape at an address in the SE10 area of Greenwich on March 13 last year.
After the robbery, Johnson raped and assaulted the man multiple times. Forensic evidence from the scene and mobile phone work led to the arrest of Johnson the following day at an east London hotel.
Jurors earlier this year found Johnson, of no fixed address, guilty of two counts of rape, one of sexual assault by penetration and one of robbery. He also pleaded guilty to possession of a Class B drug.
Met Detective Constable Robert Shires said: “I hope that this conviction and the lengthy prison sentence can bring some closure to the victim, and show that justice has been served.
“We will continue to support the victim and I hope that he recovers in his own time.
"I urge anyone who has been the victim of a sexual offence to report the matter to police. Dedicated officers will support you and work tirelessly to bring offenders to justice.
