An ‘evil’ paedophile who repeatedly raped a girl and had her ‘at his mercy’ as he controlled her access to food and clothing was jailed for nine years.
Saico Djop, 24, of Dalston Lane, Hackney, was jailed at Wood Green Crown Court yesterday (November 29) after pleading guilty to rape, attempted rape of a girl under thirteen, sexual touching and possession and control of identity documents with intent at an early hearing.
He was also issued with a Sexual Harm Prevention Order indefinitely and will be placed on the sex offender’s register indefinitely.

The court heard how the victim, who is known to Djop and is now aged in her mid-teens, attended an East London hospital after she felt unwell.
While at the hospital, she revealed that she had been raped by Djop on multiple occasions since she was twelve years old.
The police were informed and in a statement taken the following day, the victim described how the abuse would take place secretly and how Djop would often threaten her to get her to do his bidding.
The victim revealed that Djop would control her access to food and clothing as a means to satisfy his sexual desires.
Djop was arrested later the same day at the Eurostar terminal at St Pancras in London, after authorities found him to be in possession of an ID document issued in someone else’s name.
Djop had intended to flee to Portugal.
Detective Constable Natasha Malone, Central East Child Abuse Investigation Team, said: “Djop’s abuse was calculated and evil. He would control the victim’s access to food, money and clothing, leaving her desperate and at his mercy, all to satisfy his own sexual desires.
