A sex offender who raped a teenage boy in Greenwich after hitting him with a baseball bat has been jailed for 18 years.
Kieran Johnson, 21, was at an address in the SE10 area of Greenwich with the 18-year-old victim on March 13 last year.
He hit the teen with a a baseball bat and demanded that he hand over his phone, keys and a vape pen.
After the robbery, Johnson raped and assaulted him multiple times.
Johnson, of no fixed address, was arrested the following day at a hotel in east London after quick forensic work at the scene.
He denied the offences but was found guilty of two counts of rape, one of sexual assault by penetration and one of robbery.
On October 13 he was sentenced to 18 years in prison by an Old Bailey judge.
Detective Constable Robert Shires of the Met’s South East BCU 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.”
