Kieran Mullen was jailed for 11 years after offending against two different women
An East London man has been jailed for raping two women between 2013 and 2020. Kieran Mullen, 34, of Dace Road in Hackney Wick, was jailed for 11 years at Wood Green Crown Court after he was found guilty of four counts of rape and one of sexual assault.
In a victim impact statement, one of the women said: “Before I met you, I always saw the good in people and I trusted others easily. That changed the night you raped me. You wrought such dehumanising violence on my body.
“You violated me in a way that’s difficult to verbalise. I won’t ever forget the way you made me feel that night, like a worthless object for you to use however you wanted. I should have been able to grow into womanhood and discover who I wanted to be, but you decimated my sense of self-worth and self-confidence at a pivotal time in my life. I felt worthless and used for years afterwards.
“Now, standing here after so long and knowing that I am finally believed, that every juror heard me and recognised the truth, and that you will finally face justice, has changed how I feel. I have spent years feeling intimidated by you, scared of you, since the rape.
“But I have been heard and believed and feel validated, the scales have shifted and now I have some power back too. You will have to face the consequences for your actions, as I have been doing for all these years.”
Detective Constable Charis Meredith said: “These convictions, and this result, are a testament to the strength of the women involved and their support networks around them who enabled them to proceed with this case.
“It hasn’t just meant securing justice and closure for themselves, but I hope it gives confidence to other victims to come forward, knowing that they will be listened to and the police and wider criminal justice system will do everything they can to get justice for them. For any other victims, no matter when it took place, please come forward to the police – it’s never too late.”
