Rashane Lee, 26, of Old Kent Road, was jailed for rape in 2016 but was released on licence in September 2022.
In June 2024 a woman was on a night out in central London with her sister and friends when she was approached by Lee as she walked her.
He began to talk to her and offered to accompany her home as he lived in a similar occasion.
She tried to dissuade him but he persisted before taking her to a secluded area where he raped her.
Lee was linked to the rape by forensic analysis and was arrested at his partner’s home ten days later.
Despite the weight of evidence he denied rape and claimed the samples were contaminated in the lab.
A jury found him guilty of two counts of rape after less than two hours of deliberation.
On Friday (March 14) Lee was jailed for 13 years.
Detective Constable Jack Woods, who led the investigation, said: “This verdict is testament to the bravery of the victim whose evidence helped us secure this conviction.
“Despite farcical claims by Lee that the DNA secured was either contaminated or simply not his, the jury saw through this, and this resulted in today’s lengthy sentence.
“Lee is an extremely dangerous individual who deliberately targeted a lone woman and hoped that because she had had a few drinks she would be too confused to come forward to police.
“This was not the case and despite his arrogance, there was no doubt to his guilt.
“We hope that this result demonstrates that no matter the circumstances, we will always take victim-survivors accounts extremely seriously, and do all we can to ensure that predators, like Lee, are taken off the streets.”
