This is the moment police arrested one of London’s most dangerous offenders, who was later handed a life sentence for multiples rapes.
Clinton Easy, 32, was detained last year following an investigation led by Metropolitan Police detectives.
He was identified as one of the city’s most dangerous offenders by Scotland Yard’s “V100” programme, which uses data to pinpoint men who pose the greatest risk to women.
Easy, of Lutwyche Road in Lewisham, wore a Nike coat, black hoodie and Armani cap when he was cuffed by police on February 1, 2024 in Wolverhampton in the West Midlands.
On Friday, the Met released bodycam footage of the arrest, during which an officer read out a list of the crimes with which Easy has been accused of.
As the officer detailed the allegations against him, Easy shook his head in disbelief and later called the claims “crazy”.
The Met were alerted to Easy’s crimes following a report from a victim on January 11, 2024.
Earlier that evening, Easy had subjected the victim to numerous rapes in her own home after persuading her to let him in.
Easy threatened her with extreme violence, bound her hands and assaulted her.
Officers obtained photographs of injuries and collected evidence from the scene of the offending, including a cup of Easy’s urine which had been thrown.
Detectives uncovered a pattern of abuse and controlling behaviour by Easy, such as taking the victim’s phone and posting on her social media accounts.
His offending had been ongoing for more than a year, with medical records showing that his violence had led the victim to undergo hospital treatment in 2023.
Easy was sentenced to life in prison with a minimum sentence of 12 years on Thursday at Woolwich Crown Court.
A restraining order will also be imposed by the judge. The sentencing followed two trials.
The Met is dedicated to tackling violence against women
During the first trial beginning in July 2024, Easy pleaded guilty to grievous bodily harm (GBH).
He also admitted to two charges of actual bodily harm (ABH) and was found guilty of controlling and coercive behaviour.
A second trial began in May 2025 where Easy was found guilty of two charges of rape.
Detective Inspector Jemma Gregory, who led the Met's investigation, said: “Easy’s offending is shocking and sets him as a dangerous individual who, thanks to the reports from the victim and strong storyboard of evidence collated by the team, is now safely behind bars.
“I would like to commend the victim on her strength throughout the investigation and thank her for her support throughout the court processes. It is clear that her early reporting has strengthened this case to secure a strong sentence.
“The Met is dedicated to tackling violence against women and girls by hunting down predatory men, with innovative methods being used in practice to secure convictions and strong sentences against those who pose the highest risk.”
The Met’s intelligence unit uses the Cambridge Crime Harm Index to help draw up a V100 chart of domestic, sex, stalking and violent crime suspects mirroring methods used by organised and anti-terror squads.
Police chiefs said they have also rolled out training to 20,000 frontline officers, whilst also adding 565 specially trained officers and staff into teams tackling such crimes.
