SMILING RAPIST SENTENCED TO 24 YEARS IN PRISON

This smirking sex offender has been convicted for 24 years in jail for raping one 17-year-old woman and tried to attack another at knife point.

He was described as a 'dangerous, calculating and predatory rapist' who created the image he was the 'pillar of the community' by helping out at the church.

The court heard of how Oluwadamilare Bayewu, from Fairlawn in Greenwich, first grabbed a 17-year-old at knife point on December 2, but she managed to break free and escape.

A week later, just in the same area of Binsey Walk, Thamesmead, he grabbed a victim, also 17, as she got off the bus at 7 pm.

He put a knife to her throat and threatened to kill her before marching her into a bin storage area under a walkway. He then raped her in a secluded area.

He was tracked down after his DNA linking him to the attacks was recovered.

He was arrested on December 16, and was placed on an identity parade where he was picked out by the victim whom he had attempted to rape.

He was today sentenced at Woolwich Crown Court to 24 years in prison.

He will serve a minimum of 16 years in prison and will them be on license for eight years.

80-year-old man charged for driving a car covered in snow

An 80-year-old man was charged after driving a car that was almost completely covered in snow with only a portion of the driver's side windshield cleared for vision, police said.

Ontario Provincial Police said Wednesday the man received a $110 ticket after an officer spotted a car resembling a pile of snow on the road in Brussels, Ontario on Tuesday.

The OPP posted a picture of the car to twitter and wrote 'Can't make this stuff up.'

'Driver charged today in Brussels actually driving like this.'

The man, whose name was not released, was charged with having a obstructed view.

Police spokesman James Stanley said the man said he was too old and weak to brush it off. The officer cleared the snow from the man's car and let him on his way.

'He was going for a short drive in town. I understand his excuse was he was too old, too weak to brush off the snow.' Stanley said.
