http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-22183589A man has been convicted of raping an 11-year-old girl in north London.
Opemipo Jaji, 18, of Edmonton, had denied dragging the girl into Jubilee Park, Enfield, before attacking her in November
A horrific case. His history of crimes and the lenient sentences.
My concern is that sexual crimes against girls is now so common anything other than rape is treated with a shrug of the shoulders.

How do so many get into the country into the first place, I wouldn't have thought they'd be able to claim asylum?
It looks to me that the people in charge in this country have any sense whatsoever, with regard to both immigration and sentencing.
I have just seen this on the BBC site relating to an earlier sexual assault against a 12 year old girl.
WTF?? £15
Does that not make the attack a 1000 times worse? For the law to accept the crime took place and to think that £15 "covered it".
Other countries like the U.S. and Australia would have deported him but we never seem to be able to do the same, or the idiot authorities are unwilling to do it.
If he committed the crime he should have been deported no matter what his age.
I'd go one step further, and insist that people who are allowed to stay, or offered citizenship, be required to sign a contract stating that should they commit anything other than a very minor offense, they accept that they will be expelled from this country without leave to appeal.
It doesn't seem to work like that over here, it's all "human rights" and "right to a family life" but foreign nationals who commit serious crimes like sexual assault, robbery and rape should certainly be deported.
I agree. It's a pathetic punishment for such a seriously damaging crime.
Much is said about the poor rate of victims coming forward and the poor rate of conviction. No wonder some victims feel it a futile effort to report the crime committed against them when even a successful conviction result in such minor penalties and punishments.
yeh, the only people who don't appear to have "human rights" and "right to a family life"
are the victims of violent crimes
He should have been locked up properly the first time.
The £15 fine is just pathetic.
Justice needs to sway back to protecting society from such people and punishing the defendant rather than just rehabilitating the defendant.
A crime like this should get a long time locked away. No matter how "rehabilitated" you appear half way through. Ok fine you have been rehabilitated and you probably won't do it again, now the rest of your time in prison can be spent regretting what you did.
He's been given a life sentence now, Be shocked if he serves more than 15 years.
Are judges at all in touch with what the rest of the population want?
This is an horrific case. The poor girl required surgery after the attack.
the money all goes into a single pot and i expect the victim in this case got paid a hell of a lot more.
The evidence against him was so strong - filmed on the same bus, text sent from his phone tracked to this spot, fingerprints on her travelcard, her blood on his belongings and clothes, lack of alibi, previous conviction for a similar attack, evidence of interest in child pornography, been identified by the victim; he must have been advised that there was a very strong chance he would be found guilty but yet still came up with nonsense excuses and pathetic alibi in doing so put this 11 year old through the whole ordeal of a trial when he was always going to be found guilty.
I cant understand the previous sentencing and surely a condition of release should involve any re offending - such as the incident images he was arrested for - should result in an automatic prison sentence.
What exactly happens sex offenders treatment programme?
The victim surcharge is something they make everyone pay

He hasn't been sentenced yet. If he has been given UK citizenship it should have it revoked and sent home.
Sentencing is due to take place on 7 June. Mr Justice Singh told the court that a life sentence was an option.
How anyone can think serving five months is anywhere near enough for kidnapping a child, stripping them naked, stuffing their school tie in their mouth and sexually assaulting them, is way beyond me.
That was just one of the string of perverted previous offences he committed.
Sounds like a good idea to me.
