A sexual predator from south London has been found guilty of raping six women 22 times. 

Kevarnie Queen, who went by the street name K1, committed the offences between the age of 15 and 18. 

Now, aged 19, he was found guilty after a trial at Inner London Crown Court. 

Queen, of Barrington Road in Brixton, met all but one of the victims on social media then manipulated them and raped them. 

Police received multiple allegations of sexual offences against Queen but in each cases victims were unable to provide a formal interview or support an investigation as they did not feel ready because of what had happened to them. 

On June 7, 2022, he was arrested on suspicion of rape after a report was made to police where the victim felt able to make a formal report. 

Officers then made contact with his previous victims and five agreed to support the investigation. 

A number of the victims had been taken to tower blocks and raped in communal stairwells by Queen.  

Others spoke about being in emotionally abusive relationships with Queen, who preyed on his victims and made them feel that sexual abuse is normal. 

Detective Constable Jennie Seward, investigating, said: “Queen’s disregard for the young women’s rights to consent, and his complete lack of respect for them, is disgraceful. He treated the women as objects to use for his own gratification. 

“The bravery of these young women attacked by Queen is humbling. As police officers we of course understand that taking part in a police investigation and attending court is extremely challenging, but these courageous women have done just that. Their actions will, no doubt, have prevented this from happening to other young women.” 

In court Queen tried to claim that because he had cheated on all six women they had got together to teach him a lesson. 

However, after hearing all the evidence a jury found that this was not true. 

Detective Constable Lena Kraemer, said: “We are doing everything we can to ensure that sexual predators who make our streets unsafe for women and girls are placed before the courts. We can’t do that alone. If you have been the victim of a sexual offence and have not yet spoken to police, we urge you to do so; at the very least so we can ensure that you are being supported. 

"As demonstrated in this case, without the information provided about Queen, the full details of his offending may not have come to light. 

"We understand that supporting a police investigation for sexual assault is a daunting prospect but with police and professional support we can ensure your voice is heard. 

"If you have any information about sexual predators please inform police directly or via Crimestoppers as this helps to build a picture providing police with the tools to prevent and detect crime.”
