A man has been convicted of raping a woman he met on a dating app.
Ryan Mulhern, 41, pleaded guilty to rape and attempted rape following the incident in north London on March 21.
Police were called to an address on Hornsey Lane in Haringey just before 10pm after a member of the public found the victim crying and stating she had just been raped.
The victim, 25, said that she had met Mulhern on a dating app and had gone to his house to meet up.
While there, Mulhern raped the victim.
She fled the house and then bumped into a member of the public who called 999.
Officers appointed a sexual offences investigations techniques officer to support the victim through her report and when giving evidence. She was taken to a haven the following day for specialised support.
Mulhern was arrested on March 22 following a large-scale police search.
Detective Sergeant Sam Lockstone, who led the investigation, said: “I am incredibly proud of my team for supporting the victim throughout this investigation with such professionalism.
“Arresting, charging and remanding Mulhern, and then him pleading guilty, within one month of the incident shows the dedication and commitment our teams have in pursuing justice for these horrific offences.”
