A sex predator who attacked six women days after he was released from a prison sentence for similar offences has been jailed for life.
Joshua Victorin, 24, was supposed to be under supervision when he embarked on a 12-day spree of terror during the festive season last year.
He attacked four women in a single day, Inner London crown court heard.
Victorin's previous victims included a prison officer as well as a drug and alcohol worker.
He was released in early December and attacked his next victim on December 23, 2020 when she got off a bus in Peckham.
At an earlier hearing, prosecutor Claire Harden-Frost said: 'These offences can be seen as part of a campaign to rape and sexually assault women walking alone in the streets of London.
'This, frankly is most people's nightmare in this situation.'
Victorin has seven previous convictions for 14 offences dating back to 2014.
He was jailed for 17 months in February 2019 for unlawful wounding and possession of an offensive weapon.
Victorin was jailed for a year after sexually assaulted two prison guards while serving his sentence, as well as a separate sexual assault on a female police officer in March last year.
He was released halfway through his sentence in August, but recalled to prison after being charged with possession of cannabis and outraging public decency - by having consensual sex in a park in front of people, including children - and was then freed under licence in December.

Judge Silas Reid told him: 'You grabbed her forcefully and she screamed. You pulled her jogging bottoms to the floor with both hands.
'A passer-by saw her with your hands around her waist. On the 31st December that year the second victim was walking home in Elephant and Castle.
'You had dark clothing on. You grabbed her and pulled her trousers down causing her to fall.
'You pulled your trousers. You got on top of her. You had a hand on each of her legs which you had in the air.
