He threatened to distribute the images unless they had sex with him.

Some of the victims were even told to perform sex acts via video on more than one occasion.

American Balogun, who lived with relatives in Tottenham, North London, was found guilty of raping four girls, aged 13 to 16, and three counts relating to a 16-year-old.

He was jailed for 21 years at Wood Green crown court.

Detective Sergeant Tony Killeen, of the Met's Child Abuse and Sexual Offences Command, said: "I wish to acknowledge the courage of these young people in coming forward and providing the vital evidence needed to prosecute Balogun.

"The teenage girls were victims of online sexual offences and did not recognise that they were being abused."

Balogun will be placed on the Sex Offenders Register for life.

Police fear there may be more victims and urge any to come forward.

DS Killeen said: "Balogun is a prolific sexual offender and it cannot be discounted that he has sexually abused other people.

"If you have been a victim of Balogun, please contact police via 101 - specially trained officers are there to support you."
