A sex predator who struck five times in just 11 days as he tried to emulate serial rapist Joseph McCann is facing years in jail.
Abdallah Baballah, 25, stalked his victims as they left Tube stations or got off night buses and then told a jury they had all consented.
The Sudanese former Barking and Dagenham College student followed his first victim off a night bus in Newham at around 2.30am on a day in July, 2019.
Baballah said Give me your phone or I ll stab you before dragging the woman into a quiet street and raping her three times, jurors were told.
