Overview

• The 26-year-old from Selsdon Road, E13, was sentenced at Snaresbrook Crown Court on October 7 and placed on the sex offenders’ register for life.
• He pleaded guilty to raping a child under 13, assault by penetration of a child, four counts of causing a child to engage in sexual activity, rape and sexual assault of a woman over 16, possession of indecent images of children, and voyeurism.
• The investigation began after Greater Manchester Police flagged abuse videos found on a device sent for repair, with Met detectives identifying Patel from a brief facial shot, clothing comparisons, and distinctive jewellery.
• Further footage showed the rape of a young woman after a university night out and voyeurism involving a girl, and police say Patel recorded multiple offences himself.
• Kishan Patel received 15 months for making and possessing indecent images of children and a 10-year Sexual Harm Prevention Order, as officers appeal for other victim-survivors to contact police via Operation Castline or the 24/7 Rape & Sexual Abuse Support Line.
