Vile Michael Waribo raped a girl almost every day from the age of 10 - claiming he’d die of a mystery disease if she didn’t have sex with him.
The serial rapist abused her and another girl on a near-daily basis for over a decade, a court heard.
Waribo, 49, from Dundee, was jailed for 11 years at the High Court in Edinburgh yesterday after a jury found him guilty of four charges of multiple rapes, dating from May 2008 to May 2019, at addresses in Dundee and Thurso.
After watching Waribo appear on videolink from HMP Grampian, one victim said: "He got what he deserved."
The victim, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, added: "It was a horrible time for us.
"Thankfully, our lives are so different now."
The second victim said: "It might sound strange but I hope that he stays safe in there and no harm comes to him.
"After all he put us through, I still care for him."
The court heard Waribo lied and made up bizarre stories to cover up his crimes.
He told his first victim he had a mystery disease and that he would die if she did not have sex with him.
When questioned about buying a pregnancy kit for one of his victims, Waribo told her mother he had an "out of body experience" during which he saw himself having sex with her daughter.
Waribo, who maintains his innocence, was placed on the sex offenders’ register indefinitely.
Judge Lord Harrower told him: "You have been found guilty of appalling sexual offences, carried out systemically over several years.
"The picture of you that emerged in evidence was of a controlling, intimidating and often frightening figure, meting out excessive and violent chastisement."
He said Waribo had sexually abused one girl from when she was 10 until she was 17, and the other from the age of 13 to 21.
"That's 11 years of sexual abuse in total," said the judge. "For one of the victims it began as an upsetting sexual assault in the bath.
"Throughout this period, you exploited their fear and innocence. You told one girl you had a disease and that if she didn't help you by having sex with you, you would die.
"You told her that if she told anyone that everyone in her family would hate her and that she was as much in the wrong as you."
The judge added: "When she did eventually tell her mother, you threatened to make up a story to tell the police that her mother's father had sexually abused the girl.
"And you told the other victim that if she went to the police, she would go to jail.
"But she did go to the police. Eventually you lost the control that you had over these girls.
"I cannot begin to express in words the damage you have done to them but I can acknowledge their courage giving evidence and I hope they are able to regain some measure of control over their lives."
He told Waribo: "I take account what is said on your behalf but I must regard the youth of the girls at the time, the psychological harm inflicted on them and the horrific abuse of trust, as well as the steps taken by you to prevent them reporting your crimes.
"A significant custodial sentence is inevitable."
Waribo, of Leith Walk, Dundee, was also convicted of two charges of throttling his victims to the danger of their life, and a charge of lewd, indecent and libidinous behaviour.
Jurors heard Waribo was almost caught raping one of the girls when her mother arrived at the address.
Solicitor advocate Shahid Latif, representing Waribo, told the High Court: "He maintains that he is innocent and he expresses no ill will to anyone who made these allegations against him."
He said Waribo had suffered abuse from others after he arrived in Scotland from Nigeria.
