A man who filmed himself sexually assaulting a woman as she slept has been jailed.

Gary Warman plied his victim with drugs and alcohol before the attack in south London, Woolwich Crown Court heard.

Police searched the 31-year-old's Eltham home in January and confiscated a number of computers, hard-drives and mobile phones, Scotland Yard said.

Officers identified 748 indecent images of children on one of the computers.

They also found a number of videos which showed Warman subjecting the woman to a series of serious sexual assaults while she was asleep, according to police.

Warman had filmed the videos himself on his mobile phone.

He was sentenced to 10 years and six months imprisonment after pleading guilty to 17 offences of sexual assault and three counts of making indecent images of children.​

Detective Sergeant Billy Clough from the Met's Online Child Sexual Exploitation and Abuse command said: "Warman is a dangerous, predatory sex offender who repeatedly targeted a woman while she was asleep.

"The lengthy sentence handed to Warman reflects the severity of his crimes. This case demonstrates the Met's commitment to prosecuting perpetrators of sexual abuse and those who use the internet to download indecent images of children."
