Ickerson Dias Barreto, 39, of Larch Road, NW2 was sentenced to 11 year years in prison after being found guilty of rape, assault and battery at Harrow Crown Court on December 15.
The court was told how Barreto raped a woman he knew on two occasions: once at an address in Streatham in February 2021 and again at his own home in June 2022.
On the second time, the court heard that he had also assaulted the woman in front of her daughter.
After the second incident, the victim contacted the police and he was arrested.
DC Maria Giannakidou, who carried out the investigation, said:“I would like to commend the courage and strength of the woman in reporting these offences to police; I can only hope that she feels some level of comfort knowing her attacker is now behind bars.
“I also hope Barreto’s conviction sends a powerful message to others who feel trapped in a cycle of violent abuse; please contact police – we have specially trained officers who will support you, investigate the allegations with the aim of putting those responsible before the courts.”
