Ismael Omer, 32, tried to convince the court the inebriated woman had incited sex with him after she missed the last bus home following a night out in London.

However, the Iraqi man’s victim was captured on CCTV “clearly drunk” on August 27 last year.

A court heard how Omer persuaded the “naive” victim she was safe with him and took her to his nearby home in Holland Park Avenue, Notting Hill.

The victim said she realised “something was wrong” but she was powerless to stop the attack once he pounced on her in his cramped room - said to be “little more than a cupboard”.

Omer refused to accept he raped her claiming the woman had come onto him but the court saw the footage of his victim stumbling past a Ladbrokes betting shop and a McDonalds near his house revealing she wasn't capable of initiating sexual activity.

Omer claimed asylum in the UK after being tortured by Saddam Hussain's Baathist regime and can't return because his hometown is now controlled by Islamic State fighters.
