Man Jailed For 20 Years For Two Rapes
A man has been jailed for 20 years for raping two women, assaulting one of them and possession of extreme pornography.
Steven Jeanne, 44, of Brent House Road, E9 was jailed at Snaresbrook Crown Court to the following:
• two counts of rape; sentenced to seven years and eight years for each offence - sentences to run consecutively;
• GBH on a female; sentenced to five years - sentence to run consecutively;
• 14 counts of possession of indecent images of children and extreme pornography; sentenced to 12 months for each count to run concurrently with the other terms.
He had earlier been found guilty of the rape and GBH offences following a trial at the same venue on 25 July. Jeanne pleaded guilty to the possession of indecent images and extreme pornography at a later hearing at Snaresbrook Crown Court on 6 September.
The court heard that in October 2012 Jeanne raped a woman who he had previously been in a relationship with at an address in Brent House Road, E9. The woman reported the matter to police and Jeanne was arrested on suspicion of rape. At the time of his arrest, a quantity of indecent images of children and extreme pornography was found on a computer owned by Jeanne.
After being charged with the offence and released on court bail, Jeanne subsequently assaulted the same woman in March 2013 following an argument. He was further arrested and charged, being remanded into custody.
Whilst awaiting trial for these offences, information came to light about another rape of a woman in Newham which Jeanne had allegedly committed in February 2011. The victim, again a former partner of Jeanne's, had made the allegation to police in February 2012 - a year after the incident took place. At the time of the initial investigation, it was deemed there was not sufficient evidence to proceed with a prosecution. Officers reviewed the allegation and, after further investigation, Jeanne was charged with this rape.
Detective Constable Kath Watson of the Sexual Exploitation and Child Abuse Command based at Hackney led the investigation. She said: "Steven Jeanne's offending was fuelled by alcohol, drugs and his obsession with extreme pornography. He manipulated and humiliated his female partners for the duration of their relationships with him. I am so grateful that they trusted the Police and were able to assist us in incarcerating a dangerous sexual predator."
