Description
New police technology which makes it easier to see bruising in darker skin has snared two rapists.
Ashley Bramble, 36, sexually assaulted a 13-year-old schoolgirl after picking her up at Hackney Carnival.
The victim and a friend missed their last train home but Bramble offered to let the pair stay at his property in Portland Rise, Finsbury Park.
The sex predator carried out a string of attacks on one of the girls overnight.
She revealed details at school and Metropolitan Police detectives were able to track down Bramble in north London last September.
A game-changing device - known as Project Archway - which allow officers to better assess victims injuries by making it easier to photograph and visualise bruising was used in the case against him.
At Wood Green Crown Court, Bramble was jailed for 15 years having been convicted of two counts of rape, sexual assault by penetration and sexual assault.
