27-year-old man has been found guilty of raping and robbing a number of women in Doncaster in 2014.
Jean Butoyi was on trial at Sheffield Crown Court last week charged with two counts of rape, four counts of robbery and one count of theft.
The court heard how in May and June 2014, Butoyi lured two of his victims, to an area off Thorne Road where he threatened them with violence and raped them.
One of the women was threatened with a knife and after the sexual assault, Butoyi took the contents of her handbag before leaving the scene.
On Friday 27 May, a jury found Butoyi, formerly of Hyde Park, Doncaster, guilty of all seven counts.
Investigating officer Detective Constable Alex Kirby said:
“Butoyi is a violent predator who subjected his victims to terrifying and prolonged sexual assaults.
“He is a dangerous man who has refused to take responsibility for his horrific crimes. This meant his victims had to attend court and relive their traumatic ordeals for the jury, which may have caused them even more distress.
“I am pleased he is behind bars and has been convicted of these offences – I hope this positive conviction reassures all victims of sexual crimes that we will take robust action to bring these vile people before the courts.”
Butoyi was remanded in custody to be sentenced at Sheffield Crown Court on Friday 24 June.
